This is incorect!!

I have noticed the following:
     If you have a custom screen open on top of the workbench
      (or more likely the screen you started sunmouse on. hmmm..)
      (ie. part of borkbench is obscured by another window in front
      of PART of it), sunmouse doesn't work. Now if the custom screen
      is fliped behind the workbench sunmouse starts working. BUT
      now sunmouse also works on the custom screen(for better or
      worse!)

     Here is a simple test:
       1) Start up sunmouse. ('1> run sunmouse')
       2) Start up any program that opens a new screen.
       3) Throw that new screen behind the workbench.
       4) Try selecting any window on the workbench (it should work)
       5) Now pull down the workbench to reveal the new screen. 
	   Try selecting a window on the new screen. ( you can! oops.)
       6) Now bring the new screen forward and pull it down so
	   you can still get to the workbench. Now try selecting
	   a window by typing into it. (nothing should happen)

Now for the bad part.... 
     Have a custom window on top of the workbench when you start
      sunmouse. Now things are complete reversed. The custom screen
      must now be on top everything else for sunmouse to work. And
      yes when it does work it does work on all the screens.

Oh, this is all under kick 1.2. I don't know about kick 1.1.
Just thought I would let everyone know that the sunmouse documentation
is not quite correct.
