Hm.. didn't work for me.. I am using adim. Are you sure this doesn't
interfere with the bouncing? How long does the machine have to be idle 
before the window starts moving? (If I know that it is supposed to
move after 30 seconds, I don't have to wait 5 minutes when I experiment
with different settings ;-)

Thank you in advance for the info!
