|shifted function keys is pressed.

	I'm confused about why there's a problem.
	I run 4 login windows on the console all
	the time under wmgr.  I just added more
	entries to /etc/inittab (vi2, vi3, vi4)
	so that each getty gets a separate window.
	Shift-suspend & shift-resume move back &
	forth between them.

	The first window in the list (when one
	clicks on the "W" icon in the top right
	corner of the screen) owns the mail, phone,
	calendar, etc...

	I have a question of my own - can one allocate
	more than 12 windows in the new kernel? I've
	tried all sorts of stuff in 3.51 but nothing
	above /dev/w12 ever gets activated...

Cheers,
