I remember the first time that I saw the window wiggles... I loved it... but Gutsy had a bug in it where in certain cases windows would twitch non-stop. (If my top menu bar was not expanded to be full-width) Luckily Hardy Heron has fixed that, and I'm using Extra visual effects again on my machine. I just had another one of those moments: Rick, try this: hold down the alt key, and roll the mouse wheel over a window. It's about as useful as wiggling windows so far, but I love it! And my personal favorite: Set your virtual desktops up to be one desktop wide, by 4-5 tall. (My Workspaces have one column and five rows.) Now, with your mouse hovering over an empty part of the desktop, roll your mouse wheel: It's scrolling for the desktops. I have to use boot back to XP for a few hours a day, but I'm always itching to get back to Hardy Heron when I can. -Jim
