In a program we are developing, we are trying to bring the clock to the front. Under 1.2, there are no problems, but under 2.0 there are a few bugs that we have yet to figure out. The problem revolves around the front to back gadget. If we stop bringing the clock to front, things are fine, but when this feature is turned on, things become a little squirrelly. It seems that when a window is in the back, and I hit the front/back gadget, it will always bring the window to the front, but once it is in the front, it will not move it to the back, unless I hit the gadget twice quickly. We are guessing that our call the upfrontlayer is confusing the program that determines if a certain window is in the front or back. Is there a correct way to call upfront layer which will not cause this problem. Simialiar things happen either call windowtofront or upfrontlayer. vl
