Seeing as this is my first post: I've used ion constantly from the week I 
switched to linux 5 years ago -- so first of all thanks very much Tuomo.

However, I never switched to ion3 until this weekend. I have spent a bit of 
time with TFM in the last few days, but do need to spend some more so my 
terminology (screens/frames/windows/tabs etc) in the following is probably 
going to be confused. Sorry for that.

When I start ion, I would like to have a single frame (?), filling the whole 
screen, with several tabs along the top. I have the following in my .xsession 
(the point wasn't to reveal my bash clumsiness...)

nterminals=4
i=1
while [ $i -le $nterminals ]
do
  xterm -title $i +sb -fn $XTERM_FONT_DAN -fg $XTERM_FOREGROUND_DAN -bg 
$XTERM_BACKGROUND_DAN &
  i=$(($i+1))
done
exec ion3

Previously, with ion(1), this had the desired result. However, the result with 
ion3 is that my screen is split vertically into two frames, one of which 
contains the desired 4 tabs, and the other is named <empty frame>. Could 
someone tell me how and where I specify that I want just one frame? 
Incidentally when I do Mod1+K X to kill the unwanted frame, the next time I 
start ion3 it is back, whereas I thought I understood from the FAQ that it 
would remember my configuration of frames.

(Also, is the above an appropriate/sensible means of starting ion3 from 
.xsession?)


Thanks a lot,

Dan
