I'm not talking about using the qulifier-rightbutton combo method.  I'm talking
about the old fashioned, click-the-left-mouse-button-in-the-WindowToBack-gadget
(you know, the second gadget from the upper right-hand corner of the window?)
method.  Try it!  The window comes to the front and *then* goes to the back.
As I mentioned this is to be expected givent the conflicting messages from
dmouse (left button anywhere == WindowToFront) and WB (left button in Back
gadget == WindowToBack).  It's got nothing to do with qualifiers, coz we're
talking about a plain ol' left button click.  I still say allow double-click
left = Front, double-click-right = Back.  It's orthogonal, less kludgy, and it
works.




Be seeing you...
