a further minor point : creating a 2x2 workspace by first splitting into two rows and then each row into two columns nicely aligns the title bars in the lower row, reducing a bit the size in the lower left window (to account for the status bar).
splitting first into two columns, than each column into two rows does not achieve this alignment. I was once told that this is as it should be, but should it? I would think the final 2x2 layout should always look the same (and have aligned title bars). would this really require some "dirty" fiddling? joerg
