I didn't know what to put on the icon menu since none of the default menu choices were valid (how can you 'restore' Usher, ditto for max/min). Adding the icon fixed *a lot* of problems when Usher is the shell. If I make it optional, and the user happens to close all other Windows icons then those bugs will return. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | o | George Browning george@catt.ncsu.edu | o | | o | NC State University Raleigh, NC | o | ------------------------------------------------------------------------
