Re: importunate flashing window

[Jim Hartley <xjimh cfl rr com>]

I get the same sort of behavior when doing system updates (running pup

workspaces. I just assumed is was something deemed so important that I 
should be aware of it no matter what I was doing. It really doesn't seem 
such a big deal.
