Cool!  I'll try it tomorrow when I'm back in front of the 
machine with two monitors...

Well, windows opened behind rather than on top, two at once 
jumped sideways by half their width to the left partly off 
screen, focus got stuck on the wrong windows (the one behind 
rather than the one the mouse was actually over...)  This 
was all before I dropped in quartz-wm-20081203 though.
I'll give it another go tomorrow on the same machine, with 
quartz-wm-20081204 in place as well.  It could just have 
been an instance of "the first relaunch of X11 after an 
upgrade has a strop that isn't reproducible", that several 
others have also reported experiencing.

Agreed, that list sounds completely harmless compared to 
what I saw.
