You say that this gets ugly while you are in full screen apps.

I have good news for you: All DOS have a mechanism which let
apps intercept the DJ mechanism handling, so they can show a
graphical dialog in that situation :-) Your apps simply have
to support it. Alternatively, simply only use A: then you do
not get the question to switch to the "DJ virtual" B: either.
