Okay... time to point people at http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/NWI again... Not exactly the same thing, but... What I'd like to know is if/how tags would fit into NWI; I can see that they might make the panel really confusing if you have nested containers /and/ tags. (And no, I don't think tagging can replace tabs. It's not unusual for me to have dozens or more tabs open (not necessarily in one window, or even one application). I do not under *any* circumstances want that many top-level windows. I've been there, and it sucks ;-).) > we also daydreamed about how nice it would be if you could save and load > partial-sessions consisting of a group of windows and an activity. Yes, that would be nice. Session Management is still somewhat in the stone ages. (Kate and Firefox have the best session management; the desktop as a whole isn't even close to that level.)
