Hi Lewis

I thought I responded to this but can find it. So sorry if you get 2 responses.

The cascade and tile issue like the priority issue depend on the flags set by the program and will only be as good as the flags set. If what I have done still leaves problems I will need copies of any programs that fail to behave as expected so I can see their flags. some may not be fixable without breaking this for programs that should be supported.

Switching languages without a restart is basically undefined. It may work (or seem to work) in some cases. The expectation is that the program will be restarted after a language change. Because of the Xcenter widget this is not something I can gracefully implement automatically. Thanks
