Interesting...  This seems to work if you click the little icon in the menu
bar, or click a window of the app you want to switch to, but it doesn't seem
to work picking the app from the apple menu.  I'm using 6.1b7.  Is it
different in 6.1b9?  While we're on the subject, are there other differences
between '7 and '9?
