Let me clarify -- I used to switch firefox to maximized so that I
wouldn't have to scroll left/right to see everything. Now I just switch
to wide layout and let the "pop-up" clients do their stuff down below
while I view firefox in the master window. And combined with the new
MODKEY-g/s functionality, I hardly ever have to use maximize. Does that
make more sense?
