Some Unity Panel Map / Unmap or expose and hide notification. Perhaps 
they started using the 8th bit as the security bit to defend the all 
time specifications again? That would make sense as 128 + 64 is just 
192. ;-)

Never mind. VSI development has been stopped anyway and the priority of

much sense in starting anew like this today considering another shift of 
interest. At least not in public on the "all mighty" Internet ..
