I don't know how feasible this might be, but: it would be neat to
combine the idea of smaller windows from LarsWM and/or the idea of
sort of iconic-windows from Enlightenment so that either all the time
or when you do C-t w, you see:

With the strip on the left being miniaturised versions of any windows
you can't see (ideally, these would display updated, shrunken images
of whatever the "real" [full-screen] windows are doing). Obviously,
somewhat resource-hungry I would imagine, but...
Is this even possible with X? (That is, can you get a window to redraw
itself if it's not even on-screen?)
The little-windows could have numbers in their corners so one can
easily do a C-t 0 or whatever to go to a window in which something
interesting just happened (like maybe your log-tailer just produced a
bunch of new output or something).
Thoughts?
Mike, ratpoison fan,
PS: a friend almost died laughing when I told him, ``all you need to
do to get a browser is type control tee and then exclamation mark,
then type mozilla and hit return. Then control-tee and capital
Q.''. Well, actually the laughing was when he realized I was serious
;)
Cheers,
