If it helps, I rdp through tinc all the time so it is most likely not a compatibility
issue between the two.  Does it start to connect but then kinda hangs
displaying the login scrn?  It might be an mtu issue... where large packets
are getting dropped. A friend is having a similar weird issue with rdp
through another (non-tinc) vpn and I suspect an mtu issue for him too..  Try
setting the mtu of the network interface on the windows client (either the
ethernet/wifi port if tinc runs on another box or the tinc tap interface if
tinc is running on your client) to something lower than 1500.. try 1300 or
1400.
