Abstract

Despite the popularity of window-management systems in the marketplace, research investigating the usage and possible benefits of such systems has only recently begun to emerge (Bly and Rosenberg, 1986; Bury, Davies and Darnell, 1985; Davies, Bury, and Darnell, 1985). Window-management systems vary enormously, both in terms of the amount of functionality they give to users, and in terms of the command mechanisms provided to users for interacting with the window manager. Our laboratory has been involved in a series of experimental investigations exploring issues related to window management.
