[OS X TeX] how to handle window-mania?

[Thøger Juul Thorsen]

One solution is to use Window Manager, which gives you any number of 
Virtual desktops desired. http://wsmanager.sourceforge.net.
That would give you the opportunity of keeping one projekt at each 
desktop - would that be of any use?

Best regards,
