Personally I think you need to revise your work-habits if you need 35
xterms open at the same time, but I am not one to judge anybody. Can I
ask what in the world you need all these for? I hardly ever use more
than 10 at the same time I think; irc, maybe a couple for c sources,
make/execution, one or two for man-pages... hmm. That added up to 5-6...
Oh well, include mail/news and let's make it 8. (I use aterms btw, not
xterms.)
Regards, Stig
