And, unfortunately, there is AFAIK no documented way to determine "is this 
program running from the task manager, rather than on the desktop".

I happened to have researched this a few weeks ago.  The closest I could 
come was a set of API calls which appear to let a program determine if it's 
running on a desktop or not.  Nothing in the docs state whether this is 
guaranteed to "work" in determining if the program is running from the task 
manager.  It is a series of API calls which eventually return a flag which 
is described as "Window station has visible display surfaces".
