Got it running:
- still have to manually  edit keyboard_rdesktop.c and hardcode the 
prefix path for keycode to load
- the mouse does seem to track now, though it is extremely jerky and erratic

The session keeps disconnecting, it seems to make a difference choosing 
different compression ratios, also screen res in the guest makes a real 
difference as well.

e.g connecting with UltraVNC on AutoSpeed selection to win98 at 800x600, 
the client disconnects immediately.
