Yes, the result is the same. >> Is the window that I have moved you the group a new container? > > Sorry, meant "out of the group" Hm, I think not at this moment. mod-a (focus parent) selects still all windows. You must first tell how to split, use mod-v or mod-h. And if you want this layout stacked you can hit mod-s after it. I hope this helps. ;-) At the beginning I was very confused with all this stuff. It's a quite good idea to play with several xterms on a free workspace. Frank
