If I move my Workbench back to my right monitor, and set
the "Graphics window stays on top" preference button, then
whenever I type in the Workbench in my right monitor, the
function graphics window pops forward on my left monitor.
This is great, except that I normally keep my e-mail and
newsgroup reader on my left monitor. If I want to read the
newsgroup, for example, and I pull that application forward,
the graphics window stays on top of that!

Basically, those function graphics windows are either
constantly getting in the way, or completely gone when
you need them. No wonder I find myself exasperated most
of the day. They act exactly like my children!! :-(

Cheers,

David
