Probably a matter of taste. On Linux, I usually have multiple workspaces, and therefore no problem finding the right window. Others may prefer to have everything on a single workspace. IIRC in MacOSX you have no choice, and there I liked the feature very much. But this also depends on an other misfeature of MacOSX: If an application has multiple windows open, you cannot cycle between them (at least not with the same keystrokes used to cycle between applications). But you can use Expose to get the right window. Regards, Frank -- Frank KÃster Inst. f. Biochemie der Univ. ZÃrich Debian Developer
