i wrote my opinion little too fast :) it isnt working (or i dont
understand smth, or i didnt explain what i need well).

short plugin:

/* Plugin Name: Loop test */
function wyswietl_slider() {
 global $wp_the_query, $wp_query, $post, $wp;
 if ($wp_the_query === $wp_query) :
 echo "it is main loop";
 endif;
}
add_action('loop_start', 'wyswietl_slider');

it shows text "it is main loop" above main loop. but it shows also
above other loops.

for example in sidebar i have standard widget to to show "Last posts".
over last posts i see also text "it is main loop". Even in situation
when WP displays single post (and in sidebar i have few last posts, so
main loop and loop in widget isnt thesame)

Andrew (and others), what i did wrong? :)
