Re: [dwm] layout state per workspace?

And what happens when my xterm window is tagged with "3"(tiled) and
"6"(floating)? What happens when I'm viewing tags 1+3+6? Is xterm
tiled or floating? If it's floating on 6 and tiled on 3, and I switch
to 3, where in the stack does xterm go? When I switch to 6, does it
remember its previous floating geometry or just remain whatever
size/place it was last tiled?

There is no way to code this without having it degenerate into
semi-random positional annoyances. That's why dwm-mitch reverts to
the workspace paradigm.
