Highlight the remote computer in the main window, properties, RDP, Remote
Desktop Size.

Just like that! Great - thanks. In my own defence, I was expecting to
find a way of adjusting it once connected - didn't occur to me to look at
properties before connection...

Thanks again.

Beware if you do go "full screen" and auto-hide the bar at the top, I
couldn't get it come back again, might just be a glitch on mine though, now
I have a k/b shortcut set up though it's not a prob.

Got the best of both worlds here. With 4 desktops set up in KDE I have one
dedicated to a full screen RDP terminal services session on my 2003 server
for running the odd Winders app I want.

Should have done it ages ago, 2003 runs quicker on TS than it does at
the "terminal" and no messing about with virtualisation either. Set up a
k/b shortcut to switch destops and its quicker than running a KVM with the
added advantage of being able to c+p between PCs.

Start, Disconnect in Windows will do the trick.

Oh yeah, but when switching between desktops to refer to things - that way
can be a bit awkward
