arg@174 14 column contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
arg@174 15 stacking column contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
arg@174 16 resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
arg@174 17 regardless of the mode selected.

arg@174 20 tags. Selecting a certain tag for viewing will display all windows with that
arg@174 21 tag.
