So it must be true!

I think I don't need to highlight a client to send it back and forth,
because I don't need to see that client in both situations. This is an
omission in my original description:

Situation A involves window W1, situation B involves windows W2, W3 (and
perhaps W4).

So it seems it should be sufficient to switch between two views.
