For example, I began this reply from the terminal, launched Fl_teachertool as root from the server and took control of the terminal. I added a few words to the reply, then launched a command line Gnome terminal. At that point, I lost keyboard input for all applications on the terminal desktop and it doesn't return when I close the Gnome terminal.

Robert,

Tried Broadcast mode, had keyboard focus and it still wouldn't accept input even though there was a flashing curser in the login box. Closed the TeacherTool session and tried again, and yes, this time it worked.

I tried to see if starting and restarting would work in the Control mode also, but now it wouldn't accept any keyboard input, period.  You'll remember that initially I had keyboard input in Control mode and it vanished after I open a terminal window. Seems like that was coincidence.
