Well, I don't. It has the following effects:
#1. Ctrl-s is lost when you change windows
#2. If you type part of a command, switch windows to check the file name in
another window, and then go back, there is a command line there
that you typed but the system ignores.
Now, the <SUSP> key was being remembered across window changes? You mean if
you hit it fast enough, then when you re-enabled the window, that the window
manager redisplayed its choice window?
Or do you mean that hitting shift-susp fast enough caused the window to have
a "stored next window" that activated the next time it was the active window.
Both of these sound like window manager bugs to me. (After all, it is the
one that receives the susp keys)
