Remote Desktop Connection and Orange Logon Screen

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I use remote desktop connection on my home network between two of my Vista
machines. The client is Vista Home Premium (I'll call this machine Laptop)
and the server is Vista Ultimate (I'll call this machine Desktop). After I
disconnect the remote desktop connection from the Desktop, the logon screen
on the Desktop machine has an Orange background instead of the normal Blue
background.

This wouldn't bother me, except that while in this mode the display doesn't
power down after 20 minutes even though I have my power plan set to "Turn off
Display" after 20 minutes.

If I do anything on the Desktop machine such as wiggle my mouse, the Blue
background returns and the display powers off normally.

Any hints on what I might try to solve this?
