Hello
I use wmii-3.9.2 (Ubuntu)
I just find out a 'hidden' managed layer. I can activate it after
moving the left or right edge of the normal managed layer. I can do
that with the mouse: an empty space is created in which I can move a
window. This layer is behind the normal layer. Windows are managed/
tiled the same way (with some weird behaviors).

Is it a incomplete (and not very useful) feature or a bug ?

Cheers

That usually means that you have multiple, overlapping Xinerama
screens.

influence on the habits of those who train themselves in its use. If
the tool is a programming language this influence is, whether we like
it or not, an influence on our thinking habits.

Good guess! Weird but right.
Many thanks.
