I noticed the same thing and changed the 6 to 8 instead of 7
It seems to work, so I assume it was just a typo.
I didnt try 7.

It works great and also try alt-double click (to get the old behavior of alt-click)
on a title bar. (bring to front but dont change key)
alt-doubleclick and drag works too.
so you get new features without losing any old ones.
it sure makes reorganizing windows alot easier.

I wouldnt worry too much, obviously save the previous windowserver package
so if theres a problem you can boot single server and revert.
