There are certain applications that should be handled in a "windows-centric" way : - terminal windows - editors like gvim - some users might also prefer windows-centricity for office documents
Please take into account this scenario : - one terminal with a ssh connection - one terminal for watching a log file - one terminal for editing source code - one terminal for compile+execute Handling all these 4 terminal windows as a single "application" is a very bad idea because each window has a very separate purpose in the workflow. In fact 4 windows are DIFFERENT applications from the user's point of view : - ssh client - editor - bash - tail -f These are different applications that only happen to be executed withing the same "terminal". The user will want to minimize/maximize/close any of the 4 windows independently . The next release of Unity will need to offer the ability to control multi-windows applications in a comfortable way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783498 Title: add per-window ("window-centric") window management to Unity (launcher and/or compiz) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/783498/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
