I think that's because the big overlapping window was removed. The old situation was that when switching, first a big window was made to cover the whole screen, then the real windows were mapped and unmapped, then the big window removed. This way you see less individual windows changing. However, windows that should not change are then flashing too. So it was removed. In theory, the order in which windows are mapped can be better: from front to back. That way, a window is never first shown then completely or partially obscured by another one. However I have not checked if that information is easily available at the right place or if the order is easily changeable. > Stefan -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- rhialto/at/falu.nl \X/ Hi!
