Don't get me wrong, Matt.  I think dmouse is the greeatest thing to happen to
my Amiga since ConMan.  The real problem I'm trying to work around is the
dmouse conflict with wIconify; they both use the left-to-right double click.
If the dmouse push-to-back maneuver requires using the keyboard I won't use it
(push-to-back, that is, not dmouse), for exactly the convenience factor you
mention.  

Ideally, I'd ask the author of wIconify to allow a qualifier-key system like
you do, or perhaps to use right-button *drag* (hit the right button, then
wiggle it around in the window you want to iconify).  But he didn't ask for
comments on what we'd like to see done to his piece, and you did.

One more time, for the record: I LOVE DMOUSE!

Be seeing you...
