Dear all,

The concept of seperate windows is intended to facilitate the usage of multiple programs at the same time. But, most of the time I see people just maximize every window they open. Not really useful, especially if you take the current size of screens into account.

A possible solution is to define virtual regions within a desktop. So, for example, all programs open in a 1024x768 window at the lower left corner, even though the screen is 1680x1050. This way, part of the screen is left available for other tasks/windows. If, on the other hand, someone want to use two programs at the same time, next to each other, the two windows should automatically fill the two halves of the screen if the user tells the system to do so.

I know it is possible in KDE to assign specific programs a specific default size and position. But can this also be done for programs in general? So all programs should be 1024x768 (except for the popups) by default, except when someone wants to use multiple programs next to each other: then the screen should be divided appropriately.

Don't know if this is possible yet, otherwise I certainly think it would be useful. I am eager to hear what you all think.

kind regards,

Frank
