IMHO that the worst feature of that > function. Hmm.. the code does: (make-frame-invisible (window-frame old-window)) (make-frame-visible (window-frame old-window)) so it *shouldn't* stay invisible. Then again, given the way interaction with window-managers is always unreliable and messed up, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the second call can occasionally get lost. Stefan
