small wonder, if the man page is incorrect. :-)

perhaps the man page should simply be replaced with a pointer
to the list archives? ;-)
seriously -- the man page should at _least_ have a) a disclaimer that
it is out of date, and b) a link to any web-based resources for more
information, including the archives.
many thanks to larry for the solution -- works great!
and thanks to everyone for hard work on a great window manager. my
usage of it only skims the surface of what's available, i know, but
what i use, i like...
