It is still a problem. Keep i ming that people don't all keep "one big terminal open", but it is posisble to have large number of applications tightly next each other for ease of use and fast switching between them (autoraise...) The length of the available space is not very long. E.g I use typical setup with 50 applications open simultaneously with: +----------+ +--| |--+ | | | | | | | |---+ | | | | |--+ | | | | | | ...................... | | | |---+ +--| |--+ +----------+ The effective space for "terminals" in this kind setup is typicall 80..100 character. If yu widen windows, you start loosing effective screen space from other applications. Jari
