arpegiattor, it uses a 2d window-placement like algorithm to generate
pitch/velocity (mapping these to x/y).
The more I think about this... the more fun it sounds.
Have you considered doing an MDI interface? This way you
can go back to spamming windows... but it stays contained in
your applications MainWindow.
Since most window managers support a 'workspace' concept I guess it's
not a big deal. But who uses xterm? :) And fixed size? What about tiling
window managers?
Actually I have no idea how this will work, but it sounds like it could
be fun.
