[SWLUG] separating terminal boxes

[Foeh Mannay]

Hi,

Not that it's probably much help, and I know I hate it when people tell
me to use GNOME, but in KDE you can run shells inside the same window or
in separate windows, each with its own button. Might be bearable to swap
while you do whatever it is that you're doing?

Or maybe you could use screen... long winded I suppose but a couple of
well practiced keystrokes are quicker than a drag-click-shove with the
mouse...
