That does look interesting. Unfortunately the days when I had the time
to explore such refinements are but nostalgia.

Well, it only takes a minute to install.  Whether you'll remember to use
it is another matter, of course.

It does seem to work pretty well (admittedly only with Cocoa apps, so
not the Finder or iTunes).

It seems to have introduced Whackiness(TM) to some of my apps in general
and in particular OmniWeb (I had the strange experience of being able to
*hear* web pages but not *see* them). I eventually ended up restarting
as just turning it off didn't really seem to clear the Whackiness(TM).

I don't think it likes Spaces very much.

Interesting!  I haven't had any strange behaviour yet, but I must
admit I keep forgetting to use it.

It does have an option to let you show windows on all Spaces,
incidentally.
