i did something completely seperate.... i just added a list of ClientLists and cycle throught that whenever the occasion arises.

i would assume that xmms would be doing that (or it should at
least)... i'll have to look at the xmms code...

in response to Michael Rogers comments, any ideas on how to do the "all
switch" or "all minimize" ? i mean, would you have a special way of
saying "switch this window and everyone in the group", or would it be
"switch group X up one channel". i just haven't given it any
thought... if anyone has any ideas i could easily add the
functionality.
