Hi Joey (when's the book ready?),
I think that a true multi-window solution might not be worth the effort
because only a handful of people actually like this work mode (think
about the gazillion requests to make GIMP more Photoshop-ish with *one*
root window.)
However, I like the idea of being able to drag and resize the parts of
the BE to your liking. This is obviously very possible with JS and
offers a lot of flexibility already, see http://pageflakes.com for an
example (although I would not use AJAX calls for every window in our
case, as it makes everything dog slow...)
Cheers,
Michael
