In FC5 there was a menu item for RDesktop that would take you to a window that looked similar to the windows remote desktop login. In FC6, after doing a yum install rdesktop, i can not find this option. The only way I can start rdesktop is to launch it from the command line passing all the parameters of the machine i want to connect to. Does anyone know how to get that old functionallity working again?

Right click on the start menu icon and select Menu Editor. Then go in the menu where you want it and create one yourself. Look at other items to understand how to setup it up.

Sorry, my message wasn't clear.

My question wasn't how to add a menu item, but how to get the gui to come up when launching rdesktop.

FC5: Click on "rdesktop" menu item, it came up with a gui that let me enter in the connection name and set screen sizes and stuff, just like it would in Win when selecting "Remote Desktop Connection".

FC6: No menu item, typing "rdesktop" at a command line requires parameters that connect you directly to your remote machine, no gui available for these settings.

Is it a parameter? A separate shell program? I'm trying to figure out how to get the gui back. The reason that the gui is better for me is that I connect to multiple machines (10-20). Creating a menu link for each one would be silly. I'd rather just bring up a gui and select the machine to connect to.

rdesktop is not a gui type tool. What you want is the front-end gui interfaces that use it. Try either krdesktop or krdc.
