Well, I've looked through the docs I could find (as well as the source
tree) and I can't seem to locate how to undo a change in behaviour
between the old Etch package and the new rc.  Here's my xml snippet:

  <keybind key="W-KP_0">        <action name="DesktopPrevious"/>                
</keybind>
  <keybind key="W-comma">       <action name="DesktopPrevious"/>                
</keybind>
  <keybind key="W-KP_Decimal">  <action name="DesktopNext"/>                    
</keybind>
  <keybind key="W-period">      <action name="DesktopNext"/>                    
</keybind>
  
This section used to cycle through my desktops, showing each as I
crossed them (which helped in finding apps on other desktops).  Now I
have to let go of my Super key and go to a desktop to see it.

Another issue I've found is that I used to be able to use my direct
desktop bindings---snippet here:

  <keybind key="W-F1">  <action name="Desktop"><desktop>1</desktop><dialog>yes</
dialog></action>        </keybind>
  <keybind key="W-F2">  <action name="Desktop"><desktop>2</desktop><dialog>yes</
dialog></action>        </keybind>

---to peek at a desktop without going to it by never releasing the
Super modifier and aborting (with Esc) when I'm done looking at that
desktop.  The big advantage to this was that I didn't have to know
which desktop I was coming from to get back to it.
