Hence my question about a concrete situation I'm in. Hopefully your explanations will help me grok. Thanks a lot for your input in advance. [off topic] What is it with 'grok' these days, is 'understand' considered harmful or something? [end of off topic] Google says yes: Results 1 - 10 of about 22,500,000 for understand considered harmful. (0.70 seconds) Results 1 - 10 of about 34,000 for grok considered harmful. (0.91 seconds) So it must be true! This situation sounds like a no brainer to me, mess around in a rough approximation of situation B on some workspace when you want to, if you want to work in situation A, highlight the client, send it to an unused workspace and go there. When you're done, send it back. This is what should be meant by dynamic in this enviroment too, you might not be getting the 100% complete perfect solution, but you're getting a good one for less than 1< of work, and that should be the case with most situations (with a little luck). I think I don't need to highlight a client to send it back and forth, because I don't need to see that client in both situations.  This is an omission in my original description: Situation A involves window W1, situation B involves windows W2, W3 (and perhaps W4). So it seems it should be sufficient to switch between two views. Kai
