I used that a while ago (or the ido-variable that does the same) and was not satisfied, because it frequently occured that the buffer to be displayed was in an iconified frame, or on a TTY linux console frame, or in a frame on another desktop/workspace, or, with newer KDEs, it might be in another activity... So as long as it cannot be guaranteed that the buffer really becomes visible for a user, I'd vote against it. Bye, Tassilo
