For what is worth, after a good deal of trial periods I went for Ion
and scrapped everything else. Simply fantastic. Granted, I didn't just
want to optimise screen usage, but to get some efficiency back to the
way I interact with my coputer.
I'm not sure if I've tried Ion before. I've tried many window managers.
Anyway, this post inspired my to try, or retry, Ion and I might have found
my new favorite window manager. After I tweak a few things I think I'm
going to be hooked. The only thing I've found so far that is
disappointing is that my favorite image viewer, xv, does strange things
under Ion. For example, if I start xv to view several images, it displays
the first image stretched or shrunk to completely fill the screen, even
if it smegs up the aspect ratio in the process. Cycling through the other
images, most are displayed at the correct size, but they're displayed on
top of the first image, which stays on the screen. I've seen it exhibit
similar behavior under XFCE. Running it with -nodecor, which removes the
window decorations, under XFCE seems to work around that quirk. It
doesn't help under Ion. I might have to switch to a more modern image
viewer. I've tried qiv a few times, and it seems to work well under Ion.
