No, I copied chars in the same app because shift and ctrl didn't work. I had to write "(" and I couldn't because shift had no effect so I copied from another (

>> Finally, just for your info, when I rollbacked to 0.6.2, apt forced me to revert python-wimpiggy to 0.6.2, but probably something was missing because /usr/bin/winswitch_server --daemon didn't started, so I followed your faq (http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=lucid) and installed winswitch. 

>Where did you install winswitch from previously?
I installed it a long time ago using the same instructions here http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=lucid
