Bingo. You nailed it -- that was exactly what happened (just tried it out).

It seems that the only "fix" is to go back to the layout menu, ask to tile,
and then say "yes" to keeping the child positions. Is that the case? Or am
I missing a short-cut somewhere?

Thanks again! I'm *really* enjoying clfswm ... looking forward to creating
some blog posts and (hopefully) some buzz around it ;-)
