** I think I know what Friedrich means, groups of items under a single taskbar entry (with popup shortlist). Unfortunately there is no formal mechanism for identifying individual windows as belonging to a a group.
Any window can have whatever title/label it wants, models are not either present or identical for the same "type" of window etc.
Could introduce a "taskbar type" perhaps, maybe TWm does something similar for grouping.
Actually in TWM windows groups are defined in TilingWM, windows protocol, based on SystemWindow model class. For example: TilingWM>>browsers ^ self windowsOfModels: #(Browser OBSystemBrowser OBCodeBrowser NautilusUI NautilusUI2 MessageListBrowser FinderUI). TilingWM>>monticellos ^ self windowsOfModels: #(MCTool MCPackageManager). We can enable "custom" groups, should be quite easy (using a pragma and / or system settings), I don't know if it's useful.

Hello,
TWM stands for Tiling Windows Manager, check screencasts at the author's blog to see it in action: http://magaloma.blogspot.com/.
I think it could cover you needs pretty well ;)

Check the settings because you can say to the window manager that it should stagger or position them in another way. Else have a look at TWM Stef I tried to change the window positioning but that was not what I wanted to have I want in the low applicaton bar a group of Workspaces a group of Browsers etc.
So what option are you referring to?
