yes. you need to install tsocks (I think i got it from qole's repository). I use the following (in a shell script that gets called form a desktop shortcut for "one press" connection):

Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "start ssh"
/usr/bin/osso-xterm 'ssh -p myPort -D myDyn myAccount@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' &
echo "sleep"
sleep 15
echo "start rdesktop"
/usr/bin/osso-xterm 'tsocks rdesktop -a 8 -f -u myUser -p myPassword -r disk:N900=/home/user/MyDocs -d myDomain yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy' &
echo "after rdesktop exit"
this is a slightly more complex scenario: I create an ssh tunnel from n900 to an XP box on my home LAN (static IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, public key encryption allowing n900 to connect w/o passwod). The XP box is running openSSH. The script waits for the ssh connection to be established, and then starts rdesktop via tsocks to remote server yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy (with server_port in tsocks config file on n900 set to myDyn).

I do this to get me through a firewall (at target site, which is within a telco switch site, and which only allows my home static IP). So, while I'm away from my WLAN with n900 on a cellular data connection & therefore with a random cellco IP address, I can still rdesktop into the target machine by routing via my home box.

HTH - as I say, more complex than you need but the tsocks bit works.
