no sweat.  it can look a little odd at first.  But it is good that it does
this.  If you see a user logged into the desktop, then see an app launched
and the session id does NOT match, then you know you have a session sharing
problem that needs addressing.  Usually the result of mismatched settings in
the app setup.

here's something else you can do.

one problem running this way is that when you make a change to servers or
something, you have to go edit the server list of all your apps which can be
tedious,take some time,  and lots of clicking.

Alternatively, you can put a folder on each server for icons and copy
shortcuts for your apps into it.  Then publish those .lnk files as content
to your farm.  The function to the user is the same, easier to managed for
you.  In that scenario, you would only see the session for the published
desktop.  When you add a server, just copy the folder fro one server to
another and you're ready to go.  You can also use this to mix 23bit and
64bit servers.  Just make sure the shortcut for an app points to the right
place for that server.

There are some pitfalls to this like when a user connects to the web
interface.  Those published lnk files will try to launch on their connecting
client.

If you're testing, it might be a good time to try it if for no other reason
than to learn the concept in case you need it in the future.
