then again, maybe some panel could be (ab)used for
this, e.g.fvwm panel
can swallow various X apps and you can specify fairly fancy layout of
windows within panel (usually panel is very small, used to run clock or
xload and other apps of that type but you can make it any size you want and
run any apps). not sure how it would work, I never tried to use fvwm panel
in this way...
Yes, thats the sort of thing I was thinking of when I first suggested it.
I haven't looked at fvwm panel to see how it works though, the more modern
window managers dont seem to have this, I think the gnome panel for eg.
works differently (it looks like it requires all the panel apps to be
GTK).
