That's fine, just as long as these things aren't forgotten. :-)

I can live with which dock area gets precedence; this is mostly a matter 
of "what I'm used to". Who knows, maybe I'll decide I like it? ;-) But 
the other two visual issues are very distracting (haven't tested the 
patch yet, sorry... will try to get to it soon). Is there hope for the 
resize handle with the broken colors?

Btw, because I'm thinking of it, thank you for *looking* at this, and 
for a very pleasant conversation that actually (or at least seems to! 
:-)) expresses concern for my concerns.
