Richard,

How about using parameters of RDP file to launch the app (taskmgr) on remote logon? (e.g., alternate shell parameter)
If acceptable, if your app locks up, you disconnect the session and create a new one that will launch the Task Manager.

Or have a target local agent that checks periodically if your shell app is locked up and if so, bring the taskmgr.
