Yes, this makes sense. Actually, I'm surprised that bbkeys is listing the
shaded windows in its list and cycling through them. I think metacity and
kwin set the iconic state on shaded windows, so these don't show up in the
cycle list with those wm's.

heh. I understand your points, however, as I've been using bbkeys's popup
menu with the full mouse and keyboard grab, I've REALLY come to like how I
can either <alt-tab> through it OR use the mouse once I have it up and simply
click the one I want. Neither kwin's nor metacity's cycle window do this and
it's annoying now that I've gotten used to bbkeys's use of blackbox's Menu.

Thanks for the anticipated workaround tho!!! =:)
