This thread originally started in the OpenLook mailing list, but since it is relevant to Epoch, I thought I would cross-mail it.  Someone in that list wrote in that when he selected one window via a left-mouse and then middle-moused on another window, both windows would move when he tried to move either:

>>sometimes when I click/drag on an icon/window, another icon/window
>>moves as well (damn! if only I could get Twil*t Z*ne music in here)

I agree it is a nice feature, but I would use it more if grouping
windows allowed you to do more than move them. For example, I would
dearly love to be able to group windows (the Epoch minibuffer and an
Epoch screen, for example) and then open and close them as a single
unit, rather than individually.  Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,
