Russ also wants the current behaviour with regards to opening windows to be kept untouched (i.e. the create-and-sweep patch won't be applied). i've sent a one-line diff to swipe on create only for xterms and 9terms -- if you open a terminal it prompts you to sweep, all other programs just open windows without user interaction. i'm convinced that's the right way to go now too :) andrey
