Message:
Oh, sorry, I think I misunderstood, and I just tried it on GNOME and it
behaved similarly.  This was mostly meant for Mac OS X.  I guess that [wm
stackorder .] does differrent things on different platforms.  For anyone
who wants to improve this, the thing to do would be to test for platform
using $::windowingsystem in ::pd_menucommands::menu_raisepreviouswindow

OK - but man, is it bizarre how ctrl-< actes in XFCE - I'm guessing this is
XFCE being wierd
and not our fault.  Anyhow, I've applied this for 0.44

Message:
yes, that's what is intended. I think each WM will have different ideas of
how this should work, like for people who have focus changing based on
mouse presence not clicking.  But I think this is the most common paradigm.
 Others can be implemented in plugins

Message:
I tried this and got funny behavior - ctrl < focussed the previous window
OK, but also sent it to the back of
the window stacking order..  Can this be what was intended???

Message:
That's the standard on german keyboard layouts for cycling through the
windows of the active application on OS X. I'd very much apprechiate if
this would work in Pd. That said, i think it might actually be a bug in
Tcl/Tk that it isn't working right now.
