So you want to start the program "rdesktop" automatic on boot.
There are many threads on this forum about autostart of applications on login in LXDE have you read any of them and are you tried any recommended methods.

rdesktop needs to have X-windows to run (afaik) but that doesnt mean that it need the whole LXDE desktop. You could take a look on how the "kweb" browser can be started in "kiosk" mode and do something similar.
