Don't forget that there are users that do not always maximize their

make sense to maximize firefox etc. on a 24" screen. The only application I

24" ? good point there!
on my 10" i maximize everything except for Contact List, which i expect to
be an indicator menu at some point, hopefully.
Yes, I think it is very important for an OS nowadays to work with a wide
range of screen sizes (and make use of it!). On the one hand there are a
lot of mobile devices with small screens, but on the other hand a lot of
people still use desktop PCs (probably almost all office users), and
there screen sizes are increasing (24" screens are really cheap today).
I often resize terminals, editors and evince and arrange them so that I can
view all of them, for example when looking at a manual or a paper, doing
something on the command line and writing some text about it.
would resizing in a grid not help with all this? It would be easier to snap
application windows to each other this way. It would also make resizing
faster in general as far as i can imagine.
Actually I'm not that happy with the current situation of manually
resizing and moving the windows. When I still had 19" screens, I used to
maximize all important applications and not think much about window
management, and I really had to train myself to adapt to a different
usage style.
So I would like to see ways to make window placement easier. Do you know
anything that I could try?
Greetings, Philipp
