The typical usage where I have more than one window is that I have maybe 2 windows providing a view on an editor open (eg, for showing a .h and .cpp file, or two .cpp files when I'm trying to track down an inconsistency in usage), an xterm for running the program being developed and one xterm holding gnuplot and one gnuplot window (or looking at accuracy plots (I tend to work on machine learning stuff where you do that a lot). So it's all associated with one "human level" task, but it's using multiple computer applications. Likewise there are other situations, but they all tend to fall into that category: I don't tend to have "separate human tasks" on screen at the same time very much. -- cheers, dave tweed__________________________ computer vision reasearcher: david.tw...@gmail.com "while having code so boring anyone can maintain it, use Python." -- attempted insult seen on slashdot
