[Gllug] The mutt of window managers

[Richard Jones]

I'm using a mixture of KDE & wmx myself at the moment. Neither is really
ideal.

What would be cool would be a WM which would support an unlimited set
of virtual desktops. Each desktop has a specific purpose, eg.  reading
mail, general web browsing, and then a dozen or so "projects",
corresponding to things I'm writing & contracts I'm working on.

Control key sequence to navigate easily between desktops.

Control key sequence to create another desktop from a template (eg.  a
common template I'd need would be xemacs on the left + one or two
xterms on the right, sized to take up the whole screen). Give the
desktop a name, eg. "cjs contract", and a control key sequence.

Understands xinerama of course, and can pin my diary & notes onto the
left hand screen.

Session support absolutely essential. I should be able to power the
computer off and on, and get back to _exactly_ the same state. Hmmm
...  not too difficult to coordinate if you know that the only apps I
use which matter are firebird, xemacs, mutt & xterm/kterm. It would be
nice if I could power up the same session on my laptop (that's only
got 16 MB of RAM, BTW, so this had better be a really _efficient_ WM!)

It's a shame that Jef Raskin never published "ZoomWorld" ...

Rich.
