Eg. I don't want to read my browser in fullscreen mode because the lines get too long and it is tedious to read them. However, I don't want my browser to be so small that I can fit a terminal next to it. So I float the browser over half of the terminal and bring to front the one I am using at that moment. I heardly use both of them at the same time. Andreas.
