The cascading of windows from the task list puts the windows too close
together to be useful.  As soon as I change from one active window
to another, the windows get lost behind one another.  I'd like the
windows to be spread apart a bit more when being cascaded - say from
the upper left corner of the screen all the way down to the lower
right corner.  

I've tried tiling instead of cascading, but I don't like the tiled
look on my screen.  I've also tried a few public domain programs from
wuarchive for automatically laying out windows on the screen, but
these programs don't seem to be too robust.

Any suggestions?  Send replies to bburd@tarzan.drew.edu or to
bburd@drew.bitnet.  I'll collect replies and post them to this
newsgroup.  Thanks.
