Which RDP application do you use?
Linux
I am a full time Ubuntu user and I started out using the RDP application that comes with the distro - tsclient (Terminal Server Client). For some reason, I never really liked the way it "felt". One thing I didn't like, in order to full-screen it you need to do a ctrl-alt-enter, and that is just too much typing :). So I sudo apt-get install(ed) krdc. KDE's version of the RDP app. I have been steadily using that for all of my remote desktopping and for the most part I enjoy using it. I haven't really found it limiting, and it opens right away in to full screen if you want it to.
One thing I found annoying about both of these apps was that the username entered in the interface, wasn't the populated in the login prompt of the remote server. I happened upon a new (to me) RDP app called Gnome-RDP (sudo apt-get install gnome-rdp). Among other things, it allows you to set your username/password, whether or not to remember that password, and then will log you straight into the remote server.
I haven't spent much time with it, but so far it seems to be a cool solution to my multiple RDP sessions that I deal with on a daily basis.
