Here's another quick troubleshooting step, just to eliminate SELinux as
a culprit:

# echo 0 > /selinux/enforce

And try your connection again.

newest clients (or something like that; I don't have it right in front

Bob,

I do have the the following selected "Allow connections from computers 
running any version of Remote Desktop".

I assume this is what you were referring to.  Any other suggestions 
would be helpful.
