OK, why does this happen on occasion?

All our servers are Win2003, most are R2 SP2.  Our desktops are all XP 
Pro, SP2...

I need to open a remote desktop session on a server.  I attempt to log in 
as a local administrator on that machine (not the account running on my 
desktop system).  I am told that "I" (that is, the account on my local 
desktop) is currently logged into this server - do I want to log him off? 
When I hit the "Yes" button, I watch in horror as all my currently running 
desktop apps shut down, one by one, until I am logged off my desktop 
session.

This has happened perhaps 4 times to me.  Now that I've lost a precious 5 
minutes getting back up and running (got a project engineer arriving 
shortly), any ideas as to why this happens?  Once I learn to recognize the 
signs of "This will hose you!", is there a good way to back out and get a 
functional term session?

Thanks!
