sounds like I don't really need that, but bbsmount and the
Gnome patch might be useful.
Anyone else use/have/know about these?

For must apps, this is true. But for some, like Netscape,
it starts to get a little
confusing when you have 4 or 5 browsers open up, looking at
different sites.
But i'm starting to get used to it ;-) Maybe someone else
already has a
fix/patch for this.

Willl do!

Hope so. Some apps (like SciTE) has it's own setting to
remember
it's position and size. But most others do not, and it is
getting annoying.
I know in Gnome's default wm, there is a setting to remember
this stuff,
but I think this is just specific to sawfish, and nothing
really to do with Gnome.
I was wondering, though, if the bb Gnome patch, would have
something to
do with that....but I can't get to the site....argh!
Thanks again for the quick responses....they are very much
appreciated!!!
