Hi Nico,

Sure can tell you haven't had to do that.  Wait till you have VM's
open and five or six other programs open at the same time and get
lost trying to figure out what tool bar goes to what program.
Not to mention sizing the placing the buggers on the screen.
And then the @&$#ing clipboard stops working between them!

If Coherence ever get going in Spice, a lot of that will go away.
Probably not the Clipboard issues though.

The Clipboard has an anxiety detector build in.  It
checks you fingers for signs of stress and develops
a crash commensurate with how bad you need to use the
thing.
