I considered this, but there are problems. For one thing, having maximized, borderless xterms right next to each other leaves no empty desktop area to click in to call up a menu. For another, a maximized xterm with no borders will extend slightly into the neighbording pages, which is ugly. > > > Variable page sizes would solve this problem elegantly. > > I don't think so. Can you give some reason? I don't see any drawback to variable-sized pages. It's just an elegant solution to any situation where you want portions of the window to extend beyond the edge of the screen, without encroaching on neighboring pages.
