Actually I was trying for the following: ( Not good at ascii art, but here goes)

+-------------------------------+  <-- Screen  
|                                        |  
|                                        | <-- Term Window  
|                                        |   
|--------------------------------| 
|                                        |  
|                                        | 
|                                        | <--Term Window 
|                                        |  
|--------------------------------|  
|                                        |  <--Term window  
|                                        |  
|--------------------------------|   
|                                        |   <-- Taskbar  
+-------------------------------+

The intent is to leave no space between Term windows or  the screen
(up to the taskbar on the bottom).  This allows me to observe 3 (or
more) compiles, scripts, or other items at the same time, only having
to maximize (full screen) when I need more detail or history.

Didn't realize that Maximize had a horziontal/vertical component to
it.  This will be handy.

Yes, a button decoration " <-> "  for screen-to-screen max in the horizontal on the 
titlebar.

I won't argue with that.  I come from Solaris with CDE.  No one could
get keyboard bindings to work, so I've learned to live without them. (
But don't you dare take away my XEmacs keybindings :)

I'll have to take a look at that one later today (fvwm.org seems to be
down at the moment), but it's the clean butting up of windows together
through a resize op that I'm referring to.  I wouldn't worry about it
any.  It is just a feature request that I'll look into, but if no one
else uses it as such, then it is my problem and mine alone.

Thanks, I'll take a peek and see.
