Is rdesktop connecting to a vnc server on the windows machine? if so, is it starting the vnc window full screen, check for a ~/.vncrc file or a ~/.vnc/config file, and see if that is the case. Otherwise can you give an example of what is actually happening when you say you cannot access local desktop. I can only assume the remote desktop window is completely covering the local one. Look for a hot-key combination to switch away from the remote window (try ctrl-esc or it maybe as simple as alt-tab).
