[ge-talk] title tabs...what to do with them?

[Ari Haviv]

We have these title tabs. they make us unique. ok. They are small. They can
slide around. On the other hand we need to do more to justify them because I
have to say, it's a lot easier to move around a window with a full length
title.

I found this page: http://haiku-os.org/node/156
ummm I'm not so happy about this idea. It's hard to read vertical text and
I'm hoping Haiku will have an ergonomic UI. One where you don't have to
think or click so much. One that doesn't distract and whack you out when you
are trying to do something.

This is an example of how annoying that could be

For similar reasons, people hate ALL CAPS and whenyoudon'tusespaces and when
you don't use paragraphs for large amounts of text.

What I would like is some way for title tabs and windows to automatically
adjust themselves so that if you put a window on top of the other, the one
now in back will align itself and you would see its title tab instead of it
being 'lost.'
Since windows have the tendency to become lost, various OS's have all kinds
of schemes like alt-tab and expose to find all the hidden windows. Why not
just don't lose them in the first place?
