The main alternative way is to stop using Microsoft Terminal Services. Oracle uses the BEQueath protocol, which doesn't work under MTS. As MTS is the only product with this problem, Oracle doesn't seem to have the intention to fix it.
Use PCanywhere, VNC, Timbukto Pro, or whatever and you should do OK. Basically having to use Microsoft Terminal Server in conjunction with Oracle results in severe problems on the Oracle side.
