The current tiled layout has evolved for several years, and it's very predictable, simple and efficient to use. That's why I called the idea I presented 'random' - in the end everything is a matter of taste and being-used-to... So people, don't get afraid that I'm going to replace dwm with such functionality without having checked this in a rapid prototype. Often such ideas behave much worse than expected in reality ;) And besides this, I have more important things on my TODO list already... Regards, -- Anselm R.
