That would be great! There's apparently a crap-ton of changes in Cinnamon 1.6.x (not sure if you've updated from the 1.4 that came with Mint 13), but any nod in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, that thread IS helpful -- in the fact that that you've described
exactly (and much, much better, BTW) the behavior I'm seeing on my screen. So I have high-hopes your forthcoming config details will at least be relevant.
