1)  That's because the ants are one pixel on, one pixel off (or is it 2,2?)
	which blends to gray.  You can define your own spacing for ants, so
	try using something brighter, like (3 of bright color, 1 of dark).

2)  Snap tries to find the character offsets of each window seperately.
	if you start snapping for the first time on a space, Snap will 
	get confused because the space could be at any offset.  If you
	start your first snap on a character, this should stop.

Actually, I'm very glad that Snap seems to work under 2.0!  I was sure
that that would have broken :-)
