Massimo,

I guess if the port is still listening it wouldn't solve the issue to
monitor the Windows service the provides Remote Desktop (although that
seems like it would be a good idea anyway).

Any chance there's a corresponding message in the Windows Event log
indicating something bad happening with Remote Desktop?  If so, you
could use one of several utilities (of which NSClient++ is one) to
trigger an alert when it sees that event in the Event Log.
