So you're saying that Switcher doesn't get activated when you press its hot-keys?  How does Tracker handle keystrokes for add-ins like Switcher?  Or did Switcher wedge itself into the input server event chain to intercept keystrokes (in which case Tracker doesn't have anything to do with it).

I don't know how Switcher gets its keystrokes - that would be the first thing to look into.

As for Switcher's settings window locking, it sounds like Switcher is buggy, uses really old code APIs or something is wrong with the file requestor (which Tracker does supply).

Unfortunately I'm busy with too many other things to look into it.  Perhaps you can check into it or find someone who has time.
