Hi Kai.
Having found some time to read your e-mail more closely, I actually
have done all that -- and as far as it goes, it works grat. But
I often cycle between two different windows. For example, cutting
and pasting from a PDF article into a mail window, or cycling to
a code window.
I wonder how difficult it would be to sort the either the window
ring or the icon manager by Most Recently Used...
