Yes there are alot of insane people out there. I for one am so sick and
tired of this stipid "StealFocus" policy on windows95 (even with Xmouse
installed) that I am going to put a real operating system and an intelligent
window manager on this box in the very near future. I will of course let it
dual boot so I can ematize with all those suffering "insane" people out
there. (Besides my kids like the PC games....)

If you really want to be creative I would suggest you allow your code to
accept other religions. You will then be ahead of others if/when your
religion changes under you. (read: religion==window_manaer_of_choice)
