Poll: How many windows do you use?

The interesting result is that nobody uses more than a few windows per
server.

Well, I don't think we should ever make that easier. That would imply
some kind of connection between server, which should not happen.

This was suggested for the Windows menu? True, the same problem.

I would prefer folded menus, but they are harder to do, and since is
really only a fringe case...

For the Patch Collection really. I try to spend my NEdit time on the
release though (except for the hack I'm working on in the other
desktop...), so it will probably take a while. (Argh, I also still
have this ugly bug in the Patch Collection. And then there's the NRR
where I haven't managed to create more than a rough database scheme.)
