Badly, I suspect. The problem I have with screen - and tabs in gnome-terminal - is that I often end up needing to view windows simultaneously side-by-side. It would be nice (RFE time...) if gnome-terminal allowed you to promote a tab to a separate window. Then I could start out with tabs and only make a window later if I needed to. Another problem here is finding the right terminal. If I have multiple sessions in a single window, how can I easily find which window they're in? Mind you, one reason I have 77 XTerms (that's in a single desktop, I have multiple desktops, each with many gnome-terminals and xterms) is that the way that lots of windows are handed isn't very good, so if I can't easily find the window I want I open up another one. (Although, if I go back to the original topic, CDE was even worse at handling this sort of thing.) -- -Peter Tribble L.I.S., University of Hertfordshire - http://www.herts.ac.uk/ http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
