julien,

thanks for responding. I've not dived into the new `geom'
stuff yet, but tried your patch simply as is. I find that it
always maximizes the master area, irrespective of current
focus (but keeps the focused window in the foreground). is
that as it should be?

so, this patch helps some, but a real `togglelayout' would
be nicer :-)
