In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master |
| 14 |
|

column contains the window which needs most attention at a time, whereas the |
| 15 |
|
- |
stacking column contains all other windows in a stack. Dialog windows are |
| 16 |
|
- |
managed floating, however. In floating mode windows can be resized and moved |
| 17 |
