FYI: You have the option to blank out the host screen in both LOGMEIN and
GOTOMYPC sessions - not sure about the others.

And to expand on that, if the screen saver is enabled on the
workstation, it immediately activates when you disconnect. Tip: Enable
the password for it.

Bonus: When you are connected remotely, no_one_can_see_you. The screen
remains black...not like LogMeIn/VNC/PCAnywhere/GoToMyPC, where I can
sit and watch you play solitaire. ;-)
