Oh, fantastic, thank you! I should have known that it would be something 
like that.

I thought tab groups would only work with, you know, *tabs*, not groups 
of windows. I never ever use tabs; I vastly prefer to have every page 
open in its own window, so that they don't eat up screen real estate 
unless I want them to and I can move among them with my window manager 
(Many Tricks's Witch). But I seem to be in the minority there, and I 
know that many nifty browser tricks assume users are working with tabs, 
not windows.

In any case, I can always save the old version of WindowState.plist, and 
reopen with it after I've worked through the other set.

Thank you again!
