I know what you mean... Even though it goes against the dynamic management ideals of wmii, I know what you mean... I have three views which I _nearly_ always have open. "1.c" is for comms (mail and chatting); "2.w" is for web; "3.x" is for xmms. The numerical prefixes help me skip to the right one quickly/easily. Now, if I happen to not have my mail or chat app open, then "1.c" is not present. Suddenly the hotkey for "2.w" is MODKEY-1, not MODKEY-2. Ack! Cognitive dissonance! Extra thought required! I expect there are Cunning Ways Around This, but I haven't found/implemented them yet. It certainly would be a _lot_ easier if I could just say "yes, please, I _always_ want the following views in place, even if they're not populated". It doesn't seem like a totally outrageous thing to desire.
