Fred, I guess you've never used an ENFORCED tiling system like Microsoft
Wierdos or you would have learned of the major feature(:-) of tiling -
when you make a window larger, all the others get smaller!  So you can
never set up your workbench (or desktop, or whatever) and just pull whatever
you're interested to the top but must actually resize everything EACH AND
EVERY time you want to look around!

This system is absolutely unacceptable...
