I am using \midinsert to place figures, but want to treat  
figures on odd pages differently than on even pages.  I create a  
box containing \FigEven and \FigOdd and use the following  
construction:

\midinsert
     \ifodd\pageno\copy\FigOdd
     \else\copy\FigEven\fi
\endinsert

This works *most* of the time, but every now and then I get a
FigOdd on an even page or vice versa.  It looks like \pageno is  
getting expanded at the wrong time.

I have to admit, I'm pretty vague on just when \pageno is  
*finally* determined, and how this interacts with \midinsert.  
Can anyone offer some pointers?
