XMonad is better than ion in that respect, since it has a floating layer above the tiled layer, and windows can be toggled to be floating or tiled. > > Anyhow, FvwmProxy won't create your layout, but if you stick them together, > > it will keep them stuck. ?If you have an idea on how proxy windows could > > be extended to better fit an efficient workflow, I'm ready to listen.

Agreed, it doesn't look as if FvwmProxy would help in this instance. But I will keep it in mind if/when I want to do something fancy with Gimp's windows. > (BTW --- an updated "examples" section in its manpage wouldn't go > amiss -- as per the recent Debian bug, it seems people are eager to > try this module, but misunderstand what it can do. Jason, you wrote > it, how about an explanation as to how *you* use it? :)) Yes, I was rather puzzled as to what FvwmProxy was useful for when I saw it mentioned in an earlier thread, and after reading the man page, I was none the wiser.
