I remember reading this being cited as one of the reasons why sam's "windows within a window" flayer approach is preferred amongst long time users. In my opinion, if the window manager is having difficulty managing windows, it isn't doing a very good job. Instead of resorting to handling windowing within each and every application, we ought to treat the source of the problem. That may be by making rio group similar labels, but I'm inclined to think that a "canal" -- a tiling window manager, effectively -- would be a better approach in the long run. cls
