Blocking app is an useless freeware application which has been built only to test the reliability of Flash Desktops.

When you doubleclick the button the application hangs-up and will refuse to move, refresh, show, hide or everything else. This simulates a real-world application which can hangup putting most virtual desktop managers in troubles.

Many virtual desktop managers hang-up while dealing with such an application (most moveaway ones will).
Some others will not hang but will behave badly: either copy the window to other desktops or lose the window, or will occasionally switch back to the desktop where BA was belonging, or will tremendously slow down the system...

Flash Desktops will correctly handle the situation (both in show/hide and in moveaway) with no overhead just flashing the main tray icon to acknowledge the user that one application is not responding. All functionalities will work normally.

If the user doubleclicks the flashing icon he/she can get extensive info on what's happening.

The user can either wait, ping the window with FD, or terminate the window with FD or task manager.
