I'm not dealing with other desktops.  My OOP server is just an EXE that runs 
in the context of the logged in user.  I only put that code in there for 
error checking, since I have no control of who or what calls into the 
server, or from where.  I just have a method that shows a modal "login" form 
and needs to force its way to the forground, but which fails when called 
from within an Shell Namespace Extension.  As you said, the API states you 
should not AttachThreadInput to a thread in another desktop or to a system 
thread.  I put the test for other desktops in for the sake of completeness, 
and now I am looking for a check for a "system thread."
