I just did this for fun here at home... cool.  But as others pointed 
out, he may have over reacted.

The real issue is mouse over movements, being translated though all 
the loops.  A simple Alt-F4 could close the window, but I had not 
problems pulling my mouse back to task bar and clicking the task to  
minimizing it -- either window.  Once minimized, closing it on the 
remote system was all it took, to stop it.
