I fully agree with you, Markus. Up until a few months ago, before I felt comfortable with config-files, I thought about switching back to Xfce again, because it offers a nice variety of GUI-config-programs (And that just appears to be better when you're a N00B). However, I already had gotten used to the workflow in a tiling manager. Having to use the mouse to scale the windows and rely on those few workspaces just showed me how much better it is to be able to assign tags to specific windows. This flexibility is just impossible in normal wm's, just for the reason, because tiling isn't the way to go for beginners. That's why I don't understand why some people want to bring this lacking concept of workspaces back to dwm. Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <d...@frign.de>
