	Many thanks for the clue! Obvious enough, *after* you see it ...

	The human mind does things with computers as weird as it does 
without: I knew about the Ctrl-Alt variation when I had a visible 
workspace switcher and it just didn't respond to the mouse -- but never 
thought of trying it with the switcher not visible at all. 

	It seems to work. (I'm having other troubles with Wine, for which 
I may start a separate thread, and the wizard is grabbing its workspace, 
but not the whole screen. In that state, Ctrl-Alt-<arrow> does work.)

	What I know of F keys, aside from tweaking a BIOS, would go in a 
gnat's eye. <sigh> Is there a section on them in some collection of 
Helpful Hints for the Subtechnoid somewhere?

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
