Um... I have to ask. You do know about how to switch between windows with Alt-Tab and Alt-Shift-Tab, don't you? And that you can drag any window from any point (not just the title bar) if you hold down the Alt key as you drag, so you can reposition a window even if it doesn't have a title bar or it is entirely covered? -- Liam Proven • Info & profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/lproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AIM/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
