Does it behave >properly? I just tried it and the terminal manager does not exhibit the problem when maximized. The text in the window remains above the bottom border unlike the xterm window. I also experimented with different themes and found that over half (blueprint, crux, ocean dream, high contrast, large print and traditional) all share the problem of dropping text below the bottom border when maximized while the others (grand canyon, mist, simple and smoke blue) do not exhibit this problem. I don't know if this is due to bugs in the various themes or whether (and I would guess more likely) it is just a byproduct of the different geometries of these themes. Still, someone at Sun should probably take a look at this to see what the answer is. >>[notes about moving windows to an alternate workspace deleted] >I believe this is a design decision in the window manager. >Personally, I don't use this anyway.

And to move windows >the same... Yes, I have those options enabled also. However, while <Shift><Mod><F[1234]> do move the windows to an alternate workspace and <Mod><F[1234]> do move the focus to the alternate desktop, I still don't see an option for doing both operations in one step. I agree that the "Move to Another Workspace" menu options are a bit inconvenient since they have been moved to a sub-menu. They used to be directly available on the initial menu. I will have to investigate and see if I can determine a way to modify the menus to get the commands back where I like them. >The latter two actually are what I really do use often. Moving >workspaces left and and right -- and optionally, to take the active >window with me... Most useful to me. :) When you say "take the active window with me", does this mean you are doing both move and refocus in one step?
