	And it takes two clicks to do it, and it means either delaying the
first click until we know it isn't a double or not delaying it and seeing
side effects (like the menu comes up).  I'm going for convenience.
At this point I use the window-to-front/back options so much with DMouse
that a double click requirement would become infuriating!

	I carefully chose the sequences:

	* single click on LMB to bring the window forward because this
	  operation is executed by the user most often

	* LMB-RMB (or whatever other qualifier-RMB).  A somewhat more
	  complication operation which nevertheless can be SOLELY
	  accomplished with the Mouse.  The default takes into account
	  the fact that the user most likely has the window in the foreground
	  already, (thus the LMB is the default qualifier for the RMB).

	But, hold a minute... there is no reason for you to hit the 
window-to-back gadget anyway!  Just use (-Rqual)-RMB.  It's
called fixing the problem by taking an alternate course.  There is 
still the 'problem' with the close gadget (same thing: window comes to
front before closing), but hell, that isn't too much to ask is it?
