- Well, yes and no. A future Workbench enhancement could be to have both
- behaviors, choosable via user preference. I think it's done this way
- to help avoid Macintosh Finder look-and-feel problems. I've actually
- come to like the Amiga Snapshot feature over the Mac's placement
- method. Sometimes, it's annoyoing when I position a window just where
- I like it, then later move it temporarily to get to something else and
- have to reposition the window again. But then again, I can be
- particular.

- Well, this you can do something about. Install the ClickToFront
- commodity that comes with 2.04. Then you can double-click anywhere in
- a window to bring it to front.
