It's the right idea, but however this is happening for me currently, it does
not need APE, has worked without a problem or update since 10.1, and doesn't
rely on a developer who says he doesn't know when the next version will be
released because he no longer has access to a Mac at home. ;-)  I was hoping
it was the result of some setting or preference changed by a third-party
widget, which has persisted across the many updates I've done since 10.1. I
just can't remember which widget it was. :-(
