THANK YOU!!

I specifically joined this mailing list, after being a CygWin user for
15+ years (worked on it with GVV back in the early days), because I
was about to go crazy.  I originally experienced this problem with
mDesktop, but I spent an entire weekend trying literally EVERY
multi-desktop app for Windows I could find.  I tried almost a dozen,
in fact, including Dexpot, VirtuaWin, Virtual Dimenson, Finestra,
nSpaces, YODM, and Tri-Desk-a-Top.  The only ones that *didn't*
display the problem were SysInternals Desktops and 2 others, none of
which had any concept of allowing you to move windows from one desktop
to another, so they were unusable for me.  ALL the others I tried had
this same problem.

The above executable completely fixes the problem for me in both
mDesktop and Dexpot, so I *greatly* appreciate your work to fix this!
:-)

Though I do have to say, it did force me to try other alternatives
apart from mDesktop, and having experienced Dexpot and VirtuaWin, I'll
never go back to mDesktop again.  So thanks for that, too!  ;-)

Michael
