I noticed that it is more efficient to apply a mode globally, at
least in my workflow. Otherwise you have to dig around with the
modes for every single client, which can get messy easily. For
broken clients the rules have been invented.

Patch the code, however in my resolution the status bar does not
hurt, and I write sane info to it, which I look at often (esp.
the battery state and the clock).

Sometimes I got the feeling that I'd like to need that as well.
I'd do it simplier however. Why not only one key combination for
grow? Performing that in a column would grow that column only.
What do others think about this? (I could imagine Mod1-+ for
that purpose).
