Ah, I see. But what I think is still a bug is that after performing a 'Mod1-K V'
in the other top frame (as in step 5 in my example), then the originally
maximized frame forgets its original height. 'Mod1-TAB'ing to it and trying to
un-maximize it with 'Mod1-K V' has no effect, although even with the intended
per-frame maximize I would expect it to (right?). Also, resizing ('Mod1-R') in
the bottom frame has no effect at this point, it is stuck at 0 height.

Yes, that's what I really want. Hopefully it will annoy me enough that I'll
finally take a little time to learn enough of the Ion3plus code that I can turn
out a patch that's at least good enough for my purposes.

Thanks for everything, I hope your PhD defense/preparations went (are going)
well for you.
