Well, the funny thing I noticed is that when you actually click on the
windows, they get reordered in the WindowList, whereas if you just
select the window in the WindowList itself, they don't. I myself am not
a programmer extraordinaire, but it seems as if this could be changed
relatively easily. (That's why I posted this question in the first
place.)

It would be kewl to have a Win95-like mechanism though...

Thanks
