While I think your approach is very interesting, I, in particular, would not be one to use it because I use very few apps maximized and thus tabs would feel awkward. And I agree with Paulo, workspaces are great for context-switching. Inside a same workspace I leave windows related to same context. This is very good for organizing my activities. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
