i will do that.

currently i don't think i'm seeing the "unknown" icon, but i also
wasn't looking for it.  it seems to me that in an ideal world,
alt-tab would cycle through all top-level windows, whether
they're known to sugar or not.  ("be lenient in what you accept",
and all that.)  the fact is that not all programs running under
sugar will be fully "sugarized", and to some extent sugar should
behave like "just a window manager" where necessary.

(in any case, based on what you've said, i've re-coded my app so
that the gps console is now just an alternate display mode for
the main mapping window.  the second process and window, are no
longer needed.  there were other reasons that this change was
overdue -- thanks for the nudge.  :-)
