Putting a positive spin on things (using 3x3)...
It seems that I can go from any W, to any W, by clicking the open app icons, in the launcher panel, now.
Before, the (open) launcher icons would only go to open apps in adjoining Ws.
For instance, if I wanted to go from an app in W-1 to W-9, I had to use the switcher. Clicking open apps, on the launcher, wouldn't take me from one W to another, if they didn't reside next to one another, in the switcher screen.
Does that make any sense? Don't have time for screenies, right now
I'll have to check it out, more thoroughly, when I get home later.
