Yes, I know how to make other windows dim, but I'm a touch typist, so I often 
type away while my eyes are elsewhere, so that's no help.  It's like finding 
that the base of the thumb is brushing your touchpad while you type,  
Extremely annoying.

I need to find what's making it do this.  It's certainly not obvious.
