thanks. I think you've told me once about that at some
point. I use it and like it, just temporarily took it out
while trying to figure out the behaviour business :-)

Also, just cvs update'd and rebuilt - still the same
problem.

Using the string just as you suggested, I get the following:

when I have 4 windows open: presently active 'mutt',
inactive FvwmConsole, '.fvwm2rc', and 'vim', and hit
alt-tab, and dont release it, first window is '.fvwm2rc'.
Mutt is now the very last window (probably due to
CurrentAtEnd). Now, I release my alt key, and I am switched
to '.fvwm2rc' window. all is good.

Now, I repeat the process:
while holding alt-tab, first window is now 'vim', last is
'.fvwm2rc', and pre-last is 'mutt'. So, when I release my
alt, I am switched to console.

What I would like, is get switched back to mutt on my second
operation.

It seems to behave consistently with what I would expect
from CurrentAtEnd, so perhaps this is not really the option
I am looking for? I tried playing with ReverseOrder as well
to chieve the behavior, but can't quite get it.

Please let me know if I am not being clear enough.
