Nor mine. Furthermore, when my PuTTY's connection dies, it pops up a
warning box to this effect, and on OK the whole window closes away.
This is mildly hateful in itself, but for exactly the opposite reason,
in that I now need to restart PuTTY and choose the connection I want
in order to restore a dead one.
If that warning box is modal and is being rendered on the wrong
desktop I bet it explains the greyed out close buttons on Simon's
putty windows.
Cheers,
Yves
