I do lots of xwindows-intensive work, and have virtual x11 desktops.
So I use full-screen ("rooted") x11 mode. No need to keep Aqua
visible, have to remember whether world I'm in (does cmd-C copy or do
I just highlight?) for each window. fwvm2 virtual desktops are
awesome, but Aqua is either stationary (so Aqua Mozilla would appear
in all of them) or adds a whole other layer of desktop-switching
redraws (if I use CodeTek for example) and I still get that damn dock
and menu bar that I have no plans to use.
Screw that, man. Give me a single, consistent UI with everything I need.
