Me too, I just couldn't figure out why I disliked the "blurred launch" idea 
...
(Now I do. Thanks! :)

Actually, blurring the differece between launching & raising would require 
some kind of "MDI only" thinking in gnome in order to work with more than 
one document...
(Yeach! ;-)

But it IS an user firiendly idea!
Too bad it's a user dumbing idea too...
If anyone has missed it - I'm against this idea of "burring the difference 
between Launching & raising".
Userfriendlyness - yes please, but not at any cost!
