Let me clarify -- I used to switch firefox to maximized so that I wouldn't have to scroll left/right to see everything. Now I just switch to wide layout and let the "pop-up" clients do their stuff down below while I view firefox in the master window. And combined with the new MODKEY-g/s functionality, I hardly ever have to use maximize. Does that make more sense? -RPM
