Well and that's not the case with dwm/wmii. In dwm no geometry is presaved at all per tag. In wmii a client can appear in all tags, so there are no workspaces. Only limited use of the dwm/wmii concepts might violate the patent, but that's a problem of the user. Regards, -- Anselm R. Garbe >< http://www.suckless.org/ >< GPG key: 0D73F361
