- how will one know what is the filename (pathname) for each window?
- in acme, just by looking into the tag line, i know i can run 'grep XXXXX
*.c' on a particular window. how can i do it with this?
- the (new) windows on the right are the ones used for tags and commands.
now, how much space would they occupy? what happens when the pathnames and
commands are longer than the ones in the sample image?
- you have safely assumed there will be only one column (of windows). what
happens when you have to have 2 or even 3 columns? even in 1024x768, one
could manage with 2 columns. with your idea, wont it waste space?
