 Please define 'something else' ;)

For instance : cascading windows.

Or, having a big one in full screen mode and one other smaller in front.

 This is technically possible todo, however on handheld device it is
 propably not a typical usecase. The physical size of the screen is not
 very big, that would mean really small fonts or scrollbars everywhere.
 Maybe these kind of things could be implemented as plugins for either TN
 or statusbar, so that you can for example see when you have new mail

I thought about that too but it is not what I want :)

 etc. I don't think many people read mails while watching a movie (?)

If not mails at least reading an ebook, or some paper work ?
Or, am i alone in this case ?

A similar use case I'd be interested in is to simply _see_ another window 
while working in one, at the same time.  On my desktop, I often keep a window 
with results in it off to the side, perhaps even mostly off the screen.  This 
would be useful on the 770, especially because there are cases in which one 
cannot copy and paste text, so information must be retyped.

The screen is small, but the resolution is greater than that of early window 
systems that had overlapping windows.

[maemo-users] Window manager on the 770

Hi, I' wonder if it's possible when many applications are open to have
them in a mosaic mode or something else.
I love doing at least 2 things in the same time and I would like to be
able to read some news or my emails when showing a movie.
Why the full screen mode is the only possibility ?
