Yes. We know this is a problem and are considering ways
to rememdy the situation.

Oh. I thought you were talking about win2k TSE. For NT4 TSE,
try the following registry setting on the Terminal Server.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters]
"MultipleUsersOnConnection"=dword:00000000
You will need to reboot after merging the setting of course.
(or maybe just restarting the Workstation service)
