I heard my name being mentioned (my ears were burning)...

Help says "'Reduce Desktop workarea' /will/ fail " [with XCenter], and

I thought this would be because of the new XWP, but there must be
some other reason -- I just checked a fresh AOS5055 (so newest XWP)
with Andrei's last lSwitcher and it can reduce the Desktop workarea
cooperatively with XCenter (see lsw_old), so no need to prevent users
from checking this. I would consider this a regression.

The change is based on the documentation and I don't know how safe or
consistent this is. Thanks

Do you mean somebody else (Lewis?) wrote "this may fail" ("will fail" now)
in the help, and you prevented the option from being selectable because it
will fail, or...?

Hmmm... Did I write that? Seems odd. Checking...

Well, the SVN log says:

r37 | gyoung | 2013-04-28 17:47:02 +0100 (Sun, 28 Apr 2013) | 1 line

Created an ipf file for lswitcher based on the readme for version 2.70. The
file was generated with
Viperhelp. Moved the readme files to a docs subdirectory.

So, looking at the Andrei's 2.70 readme, I don't see it. It was added prior to
2.80, however. Looks like Gregg's r71 added this:

:p.Reduce Desktop fails if it has already been called by another program
&lpar.i.e. xWorkplace&rpar.&per.

Perhaps this was an issue in 2.80 which was subsequently fixed (either in XWP
or lSwitcher), and it just never made its way out of the known issues list.
