"Switch Desktop" option missing when using client group policy

We use the client group policy "desktop name to select" to save our users the extra mouse click of having to actually select a desktop pool.   However, I've noticed that when this policy is enabled, the "switch desktop" item under options does not appear (which is needed.)  Removing the group policy restores the option.

I've been unable to find this documented anywhere, nor have I been able to devise a workaround.   Does anyone have any insight on how we can preserve the "switch desktop" option and still use the group policy?

We are using View 5.0 with the client software installed on Wyse devices running XP embedded as well as some XP and Windows 7 laptops.

Thanks!

Bill

I was able to mimic the behavior in my environment too.   What about just pulling the GPO and making use of the autoconnect to this desktop option?  You can set it one time and still have the option to connect to other desktops.
