Oh the need for a split window is not just about screen size. It's about proper
editing of documents where one section refers to another or is related to it. It
affects many things, from cutting and pasting to proper formatting.

Two windows are nowhere near the same as a split window mode.

And although your solution works for you, others, including me, would hate it.
For me auto-focus is one of the worst features ever added to X. I don't want to
get into an auto-focus debate here, so won't list my reasons but believe me,
there are many people like me who simply hate it.

And the other issue is that yes, you may use X. As it happens, so do I. But most
people use Windows and OO competes with Office, so that's the target market.
That's where nearly all the potential users are right now.

Split window usage cannot be worked around successfully on M$ no matter what we
may think of M$ Windows as a platform. Neither can it be worked around
successfully on the Mac. There's 99% of the world's desktops immediately at a
disadvantage to Office in the OO v.s. Office competition.
