OK.  This is up to date for Lucid.

Indeed.  I put in place holders-- I'm not sure what your user or
server names are and you should replace my examples with your own.  My
suggestion is not putting in much information in the interface and
then putting in your details when prompted at the MS Windows login
prompt.

The version of Windows that you are connecting to may very well make a
difference.  Dual booting should not.

I've used tsclient in a couple different MS environments without
issue.  Please note that if you still have custom rdesktop configs in
place, they can interfere with tsclient since tsclient depends on
rdesktop.
