I am not fundamentally opposed to having the Browser update itself when I select it, as long as it doesn't prevent me from logging out when it hangs on an NFS file system, but anything more is, IMHO, crossing the line. Absolute accuracy would involve deep ugly hacking, and would give the kernel knowledge about the one true window system (assuming it doesn't (*brrrr*) already). Nasty, unfriendly thing to do. -=- J Greely (jgreely@cis.ohio-state.edu; osu-cis!jgreely)
