This is not what I said ! I was only speaking about a different
to handle per-URL settings... Sorry if I wasn't clear.

One still would like that a given URL is shown with small icons,
another one with dot files, ...

Session management only takes care of opened windows, not of
URLs you often go to and like some settings for.

I know some users that don't agree... For a cleaner desktop, they
prefer multiple windows (or views) inside the application instead of
separate windows.

!!! Which is why I think it should be possible to have anything anywhere !
Otherwise we'll never agree on the views position, and users will never
have what they want !

Come on, let's make it _really_ generic, with as many views as the user
wants to.
Only issue is about trees : are they just another view in tree mode, or are 
they opened as 'the tree for view X', so that it follows the navigation in
view X ?
