(F11).

motion filters help windows move along
straight lines.

Fixed thread contention stalls
in FWHID_enable/disableStreams() functions.

Version 1.01 for Mac
OS X: February 26th, 2004
- XWinder on Mac OS X: Improved multi-screen behavior, esp.
when dragging windows between screens and keeping cursor over moving

Window Under Pointer does not work everywhere in browser windows (e.g.

pointer over browser text before grabbing with your XWinder chord.

complement 4-finger vertical scroll!
- XWinder: Status Menu Preferences are now preserved both on

XP.
