Are title-bars/tabs necessary? (was Re: Possible? Toggle statusbar)

I have been wondering about that too - and even tried it for a while. But  
I am afraid I at some point lost track... The main problem usually is that  
*terminals* (which are the majority of client windows on my system) don't  
really tell you in the the window title what you were busy with on them...  
although probably this is a problem that could be solved. Any good  
suggestions on a "better" management without title bars are welcome. :)
