It causes me no mental pain at all to have two overlapping windows on the screen, the foremost one containing something visually complex and fiddly, the other being a terminal window that I don't need to see it's entirety for the moment, but positioned so that the lowest portion of it is visible. The ability to move the mouse over the terminal window and type commands into it without losing full view of the foremost window is *for me* a productivity gain. There are many window managers that will give us both the behaviour we want; you don't have to be annoyed by that at all. If you're annoyed simply because my preferences are also catered for, that makes you the cock. -- Bruce A problem shared brings the consolation that someone else is now feeling as miserable as you.
