My point is more about "organized" views. I seldomly want to see several web pages at once, so max mode and a single column is all I need for browsing, maybe I have some other window temporarily in a second column. For work I often use two terminals side by side, columns in default/equal mode (e.g. for a gnuplot graph). But I'm unable to set this up on wmii startup. There's one single default for the column mode. I have to do that manually each time I login. Being able to tell wmii that I prefer "1 max column" when viewing/creating "www" and "2 equal columns" when viewing/creating "work" would be very nice. (something like that)

Multiuser hosts are rare nowadays. If you don't see the need and don't want to do it, ok. But the number of multiuser hosts depends on where you work. In an office you may have your own PC, but if you have different computers dedicated for special uses, they just have to be multiuser. Nobody can have his own PC everywhere... But you can have a network login on any PC with personalized user environments. Multiuser capability has in fact gotten more important over the last years with all those networked environments everywhere. Regards, Stefan -- "Feel free" – 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat ...
