Hi Idome,

The flashing window is usually a sign that the application needs your 
attention (like a new message in your messenger window). It is not 
really a bug, but a feature. If you were to click on the flashing 
taskbar entry, it should take you to the workspace on which the 
application actually resides.

On the other hand I have also seen applications that "like" to "annoy 
me" by flashing for no-joy what so ever!! But I guess it must be a 
programming over-sight :-) .. I can live with those for now.

later,
Rogue
