-------------------------------------------------------

So I know a lot of questions have been asked about using Sikuli via
remote desktop, but a lot of that revolves around whether you can run it
on a headless machine, etc. I have Sikuli installed on office computer
and I'd like to remote desktop onto  my office computer from home and
start my sikuli program (i.e. I'm simply telling the sikuli program that
is already on my office computer to start). This works well if I keep
the remote desktop screen always open on the computer that I am remoting
from, but if I switch screens to work on something else, sikuli stops
working on my office computer. Even if I pull my mouse to the side of
the screen so it's no longer above the remote desktop image it's as if
my office machine no longer has a mouse and can't perform any of the
clicking functions etc. I've tried looking this problem up for remote
desktop in general but I can't find answers. I'm sure there's a simple
solution (after all,  sikuli works just fine on the office computer if I
don't remote in!) so I'm not certain why this would be such a problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
