Unfortuantely xfeel ties foreground to the focus (but I still have xfeel
installed in my startup folder).

I would like to make a request about xfeel.  Who is the author of the
program?  I remember a post from him a while back but alas I didn't
save it.  I have many suggestions and bug reports I would like to
give to him.

Has anyone suggested to IBM to have more than one choice of window
manager?  (Who can I suggest it to -- preferably in Canada?)
