It would be desirable if tsclient gave some sort of feedback while
attempting a connection. As it is now, if the server is unresponsive
it could go for seconds with no window being shown; the user doesn't
know if the program crashed or what's going on.

If this sort of feedback is not possible because the helper apps
(rdesktop, vnc, etc.) don't provide enough information, then at least a
small window/dialog should be kept visible to inform the user that a
subprogram has been spawned (and maybe even an option to kill the
child).

Thanks,
