Here are my tests done with:
Host: Ubuntu 9.10 32bit vmware vm  Remote: windowsXP vm
Host: Ubuntu 10.04 64bit  Remote: windowsXP vm
Italian language and keyboard

-y option gave me many trouble so I do not use it.

Remmina can lost the Caps-Lock sync status between the host and the remote pc:
if I exit from the Remmina window, enable the caps-lock and reenter in the Remmina window, then the caps-lock light will be on but I will write lowercase.
Seamless window is not supported by Remmina.
Other things are ok: key "è" write "è" and shift+è write "é" with caps-lock on or off

With rdesktop 1.6.0-2 (from Ubuntu repository)
caps-lock do not work but it is in sync between the host and the remote pc.
With caps-lock on, "è" will write "e" and shift+è will write "éE"

With rdesktop_1.6.0-3ubuntu1~ppa1 from Manny Vindiola:
Caps-lock can lost sync like with Remmina.
With caps-lock on, shift+è will write "ée"

With rdesktop 1.5.0-3
With caps-lock on, pressing shift+è do not write "é" but "éE". Idem with shift+ò.
Caps-lock status is always sync between host and remote pc.

In my case:
rdesktop 1.6.0-2 is unusable because I must press shift+a to write "A"
rdesktop_1.6.0-3ubuntu1~ppa1 is not good for me because I can lost the capslock sync.
Idem for Remmina.
Also, I need to launch the connection with a script and I do not know how to do with Remmina.
Seamless windows is really usefull too (especially for inexperienced users that do not understand why there are two close buttons...)

So, rdesktop 1.5.0-3 is still my choice for now.

Sorry for bad english.
