Actually, the way it works right now is far more useful to me. I tend to have a lot of shells open in different workspaces and when I want to get at one I've minimized, it is far more helpful for me to only see the list of ones I've minimized in the current workspace. As someone who has used Windowmaker for ages, I can say that more than once I've wished wmaker did it exactly the way bb does now. :-) -Joe. -- Joe MacDonald :wq
