Actually I was trying for the following: ( Not good at ascii art, but here goes)
+-------------------------------+ <-- Screen
| |
| | <-- Term Window
| |
|--------------------------------|
| |
| |
| | <--Term Window
| |
|--------------------------------|
| | <--Term window
| |
|--------------------------------|
| | <-- Taskbar
+-------------------------------+
The intent is to leave no space between Term windows or the screen
(up to the taskbar on the bottom). This allows me to observe 3 (or
more) compiles, scripts, or other items at the same time, only having
to maximize (full screen) when I need more detail or history.

Didn't realize that Maximize had a horziontal/vertical component to
it. This will be handy.

Yes, a button decoration " <-> " for screen-to-screen max in the horizontal on the titlebar.

I won't argue with that. I come from Solaris with CDE. No one could
get keyboard bindings to work, so I've learned to live without them. (
But don't you dare take away my XEmacs keybindings :)

I'll have to take a look at that one later today (fvwm.org seems to be
down at the moment), but it's the clean butting up of windows together
through a resize op that I'm referring to. I wouldn't worry about it
any. It is just a feature request that I'll look into, but if no one
else uses it as such, then it is my problem and mine alone.
