Hmm, the difference between a workspace and a viewport, as implemented in sawfish, is that one has windows overlapping from one viewport to the next, while the other requires windows to be on a specific workspace. One is useful, the other is useful. Both together are not useful. Solution? Call them both workspaces for the sake of documentation sanity and if any preference must exist, have it be whether or not windows are kept on a single workspace only or not. This seems to be Havoc's opinion of how it should be handled in Metacity based on a discussion I had with him about the very feature after someone on irc asked him about viewports. It applies to sawfish equally well, IMO. -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@bluecherry.net> Now I'll take over the world <Flood> can I write a unix-like kernel in perl?
