More than just xterms, I hope. Gotta stack my vim's, too.

I hoping to get back to something a lot like this after I finish up the first
run on another module. I did an ion-like module a while back, but it
turned out to get a bit more complicated than it was really worth. There are
some screenshots at http://imonk.com/baboon/FvwmPartition.
At least one of the pictures has two windows in the same pane.

I'm thinking of simplifying it a bit by removing/deactivating the
subdivision functionality and then concentrating on the tab and
launch capabilities.
