One caveat I'd like to point out... when I do this on my 2-montor setup, the window gets neatly centered within the entire display space. That's right, the window is half on one screen and half on another. I haven't figured out a fix for this, but evidently Blyth has, at least internally-- their "about" box no longer comes up neatly split across my two screens, but instead centered in my "main" monitor! dave long dlong@uiuc.edu "quack!" computing and communications services office university of illinois, urbana-champaign ** the university is not responsible for what i say ** ** i have my own opinions **
