I'm not finding it annoying particularly, I just wondered if there was a
way to do it.  I had noticed the way autodisplay blocks, though.  There
actually used to be a smiliar problem in cicb, and it took pretty
extensive code changes to fix it.

As for Tcl, the CICB code uses it extensively ...  they keep changing the 
Tcl APIs though.  I have some experience working with it, but not enough 
to know offhand how to add support in from scratch.
