a bit of followup - the Compiz Grid plugin also implements this behavior, and my also need to be disabled. As much as i enjoy the functionality and eye candy offeredb by Compiz plugins and the Extras package, it can turn into a real unstable mess if one gets carried away with customizations. It's more fragile if you're using Unit, which itself is currently implemented as a Compiz plugin. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
