Not that I've noticed...

I've had the EXACT same problem! I have Flyer .94 (and am praying that
4.03'll be here soon...) and the ctrl-ctrl-alt-alt has been replaced with
the standard Amiga-M keys, but any prgrams like Term or ImageMaster R/t
that pop the screen to front fail to -- The Toaster screen remains in
from, so clicking does nothing, but te current program in use is not on
the screen, so you can't use that, and Amiga-M/ctrl-ctrl-alt-alt doesn't
work, so you have to reboot! I've learned to turn off Term when in the
Switcher -- works fine in LW, though (more system compliant -- I think
TPaint'll work, too, but nothing else I bet...)
ALSO, the front-to-back screen gadgets will NOT switch between the Flyer
switcher and the other Amiga screens -- only Amiga-M. AND I use an
overscan WorkBench screen (656x240 or something), and when Amiga-M-ing
from LW (or front-to-back gadgeting), I get the same screen, only
flickering. It's like another interlaced screen has been dragged down
part way, and flipping screens pops it up where I don't want it (does that
make ANY sense? probably not... <sigh>) Well, you get the point. I'd
like to know if these little things'll be fixed ever...
