so far the only item I have seen that always sits on top of the desktop manager icons is windows rdp (win7 mstsc) sessions.
when remoted into server I have to minimize the window to swap desktops. hit keys won't work as keyboard is transferred to remote machine.

Does this only happen when the RDP client runs in full-screen mode?
Re: RDP windows hide desktop manager
yes, from what I saw (and its not extensive testing) it was only full screen.
I meant to mention that, very sorry.

Re: RDP windows hide desktop manager
wanted to let you know I confirmed its an issue with full screen.
run as windowed and it works as it should.

This behavior was intended as a feature:

Re: RDP windows hide desktop manager
with rdp this is bad then, if I have to minimize windows to be able to swap desktops then there is no need to even use dexpot when using rdp.
I often have 3 sessions open and can click desktop manager to swap between them.
is there a way to exclude a program/service from this?
for me its really unusable like that.
edit: if this were a "switchable" feature IMO that satisfies everyone.

One could argue that the RDP client should offer a way to release the keyboard capture, so you can use hotkeys on the host. You could also try mouse wheel switching (MouseEvents plugin), which might still work even when an RDP session is active.

Yes, we will make it an option.
Re: RDP windows hide desktop manager
just wanted to mention how you have handled this in latest version seems to work very well, thank you.
superb job.
I do a lot of rdp stuff and often and swapping between 2 or 3 pc's while working here on laptop and this helps a LOT.
