I'm not sure what you're trying to explain, but I run 90+% of my

off hand are Agent and Putty.



Interesting. I'm the exact opposite. I run 0% of my
applications full screen.

I have two 24" monitors, and on each screen I always have three
applications running, each covering about 80% of the full screen. The
upper left-hand corners of them all stick out behind the others and
it's very easy to click a corner and have it come forward.

Then you're doing something that I haven't figured out. g
When I arrange 3 windows that way, clicking on the second or third
window indeed brings that window to the front, but now the window that
was on top is hidden behind the window that is now on top. How do you
bring a window to the front and have it automatically move so that it
doesn't block the parts of the other windows that you want to use to
bring them forward?

On a related note, I always set the Task Bar to Never Combine taskbar
icons. That gives me a view of each application and access to any of
them with a single click.

When I run an application other those six standard one, I normally run
it only for a short time, so I open it, run it, and then close it.

That makes sense.
