I've found remote desktop a pain as well.

On the occasion where I _have_ to use it I don't set it to fullscreen, just have it as a floating app at whatever resolution I care for. Then I just deal with the lower real-estate for however much time I need to be using it.

Nearly all of my remote work is SSH or SSHfs-based now, which (if you're used to terminal stuff) is so much nicer than any equivalent I've found on Windows.
