Another tiling WM user here. I use stumpwm (written in
lisp), with everything full screen. The default bindings are
similar to GNU screen, but using Ctrl-T as the hotkey.
Dialogs float to the top.

Occasionally I'll encounter an app that crashes stumpwm.
Since I use screen, however, the recovery is pretty easy:
I get all my terminals back when the WM executes screen -R -d

Cheers,

Joel
