  Sure.  Why not.  I should follow this one up ...  I mean, what is the
infinite net bandwidth for but to provide an infinite number of $.02

  I've actually asked that it be possible to have icons reverse when
associated windows change state (output, etc.) so you could tell that
something had happened to a window since it was iconified.  Jim Fulton
mumbled something about ``sounds like a nice idea, but it would depend on
mumble mumble glech foo-bar *sounds of eagles eating chetos* *plaid smoke
rising from primitive fires* *reams of envelope backs whose reverse sides
were napkins* ...'' (I.e.  he got beyond me real quick ...  :-))
