<title>Window operations</title>
<comment>
<cite date="2012-02-19">shaunm</cite>
<p>Make more task-based. Maybe split up. Overview doesn't seem
as useful as it could be. Revisit hide/minimize terminology.
3.0.1.</p>
</comment>
<p>Windows can be resized or concealed to suit workflow.</p>
<comment><p>Briefly explain the different window states that exist and how you
can use and recognize those states. Discuss interesting ways of arranging
windows (i.e. if there is a "Tile" option or something like that). Mention, in
passing, how you can move and resize windows in multiple ways.</p></comment>
