xfreerdp ignores resolution parameter

Question

I cannot connect to a server with a custom screen resolution set
If I use command
xfreerdp servername -g 1280x1024
it connects but the resolution is 1024x768. Xfreerdp just carelessly ignores the -g parameter. Any ideas how to fix it or some suggestions for alternative RDP client?
It is
freerdp-x11                               1.0.1-1ubuntu7                            amd64        RDP client for Windows Terminal Services

and I use Ubuntu 12.10 64bit. Thanks

In the recent version that I have (version 2.0.0-rc4), one should use /size:WxH option: /size:... Screen size The -g and -geometry options are used for other purposes: /g:[:] Gateway Hostname /geometry Geometry tracking channel

I had got the same problem for a long time with xfreerdp in Debian 7.
It's a bug because I finally found the reason which concerns the positional parameters on the command line!

-g option is always ignored when after -d option!

Here's my test :

-g option fails when after -d option

-g option succeeds when after -x -a or -u option

Hope this will help...

EDIT : 
-t option and -p option fail after -d option

So the rule is : option -d must be the last on the command line!
