Obviously this helps speed things up over the network connection, but it also effectively removes the "flashing black screen", since the whole snapshot piece is removed from the equation. So my question is... how do we turn of the "snapshot" "feature" and just make it use regular secure desktop (with no background)? This would keep security tight, but help to remove the infuriating flickering... Any ideas anyone?
