Sorry, but I disagree. It is perfectly possible to switch between 
applications in a Timbuktu window, either by clicking once in the 
Finder's desktop area or by selecting the remote host's application 
menu. I am using Timbuktu for my server, and I never had any problems 
doing so.

Timbuktu is clever enough to know (or thin), that any commands issued 
are for the remote computer, not for the local machine. So, if I 
enter "Command-W" to close a window, it does not close the Timbuktu 
window (which shows the content of the remote machine), but it closes 
the first window on the front application of the remote machine. The 
same applies to cut, copy, paste. etc.

Best wishes, Christian.
