Hello.

I'm trying to deal with a problem I suspect has to do with
MS Terminal Server. I read this post:

http://www.tokeshi.com/modules.php?
op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=2005

It spoke about Citrix and I wonder if the following
problem sounds the same to you:

If you run any application through a Citrix client or a
Terminal Services Client where the scenario is as follows:

You open a response window, say window_A. From the
response window A you open a second response window, say
window_B. The only thing is, there is a delay of about 10
seconds before window B actually opens. While you are
waiting for window B to open, you minimize the session's
client to do something on you own desktop. Once you
return to the session, you find that window_B has indeed
opened but doesn't have the focus. Instead, window_A has
the focus.

Depending on the language the application is written in,
you will, in most cases, run into the problem of not being
able to change the focus to window_B since window A is a
response window and won't let you leave it.

If you think your can help, kindly let me know what I can
do.

May thanks for your time.

Have you tried cycling thru the open windows with "Alt+Insert", the equivalent of "Alt+tab"? It sounds like you're working with a published application, instead of the entire desktop, yes
