The frame labels help when you hover over the taskbar icon with multiple windows so you can pick which to bring to the front.

I can achieve that effect with differing installs (different paths) of Cygwin so it must be doable with one install and multiple profiles. -- cyg Simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
