Sounds like a good use-case for wmii's dynamic tagging system. I create task-based views all the time, particularly temporary ones: Imagine that you're programming. You have your text editor, a bunch of terminals, a web browser for searching, a PDF viewer for reading a reference e-book, and a terminal for reading man pages. Suddenly you've figured out how to implement that thing you've been working on all day: all you need now, for distraction-free implementation, is your text editor and the reference material (say in a man page). In this scenario, I simply use the "client grouping" feature of my wmiirc (which really just adds a special tag to certain clients) and group the text editor and man page window. Next I press C-A-Right, which is my shortcut for "create a temporary view and then auto-arrange the clients inside it", and boom! I'm ready to code. When I'm finished, I press C-A-Left to destroy the temporary view, send the grouped clients back, and take me back where I started. :) -- "Do you think there's a God?"
