[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1447773, member: 38864"] Yes, it does have a myriad of settings. Here's the keys in my "new one": [CODE]<key>AppleEnableMenuBarTransparency</key> <false/> <key>com.apple.springing.delay</key> <real>0.5</real> <key>com.apple.springing.enabled</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.swipescrolldirection</key> <false/>[/CODE] The first and last ones apparently got added and set when I changed those options because they reset to the defaults after I logged back in. The middle ones I guess were there already? Anywho, I pulled an old version off my Time Capsule and there are FAR more keys in there. A lot of them are some other customizations, like modified keyboard shortcuts. Of interest in my problem today is this key: [CODE]<key>AppleSpacesSwitchOnActivate</key> <false/>[/CODE] I'm betting that's the one that's causing the problem I was having, and removing just that key (or setting it to "true") would have fixed me up. But what I don't get is HOW that key got in there in the first place, and more importantly changed to that value? I see nothing in the utilities I have that would have done that. EDIT: confirmed. That key was the problem. [/QUOTE]
