I have found one or two minor bugs in Intuition.  Or are they in the
Workbench?  Oh well.  Haven't heard them mentioned yet, so I'll throw them
out at the crowd.

Maybe we can call this the "lazy icon bug":
1) select an icon so that either it is inverted or its alternate image
is showing.
2) notice that the window the icon is in is also "selected".
2) select an application's window (a CLI or a Clock).
3) notice how the icon still looks selected but the window is no longer
selected.  The Workbench or Intuition or somebody forgot to put the icon's
old image back.

Then there's the "not-so-double click bug":
Do the following in rapid succession
1) select an icon
2) select an application window (such as a CLI)
3) click the same icon you selected in 1).
4) notice how the Workbench decided to start up the application associated
with that icon, even though you technically did NOT double click on it.

It's almost like clicking on an application window is sometimes an 
insignificant act.  Surely this behavior was not intended!
