Are you sure? Seems to me you increment by two in all cases but one.
I.e. making the line 
> 		7 index 7 index 6 index
read
> 		9 index 9 index 7 index
seems to me like incrementing 6 only by one instead of by two.

Please clear this up. I won't dare change my WindowServer before
I know what's going on here. (Then, however, I'll gladly do so :-)

Thanks anyway for the nice hack.
