Hi All, I've updated the wiki with a (very) brief outline of my ideas for a Y Window Manager. http://y-win-wiki.jciteassist.org/y-win-wiki/PaneBasedWindowManager The main (and probably most controversial) point is that windows are all displayed full screen by default, and that there will be no minimise/maximise/move/resize commands needed. To enable comparisons between documents, a system whereby the screen can be split into two or four panes is used. Obviously this is only a rough outline of my ideas (due to time constraints I'm afraid). I haven't had time to merge in any of the points raised in the discussion of QCS either. Please try not to nit pick the details, they are likely to change, but other than that feel free to rip the ideas apart :) It is likely that I will be unable to respond to any points raised for at least a week as I will be travelling, so I'll try and answers any questions once I return, as well as flesh out the design.
