+ heading 3 Organizing Windows
+
+Sawfish offers multiple means to organize windows, most can work at
+the same time than others, as you need.
+
+
+ heading 3.1 Workspaces
+
+ itemize @bullet
+
+ item Workspaces are virtual surfaces where to place windows. They are
+also called (Virtual) Desktops in other WMs. You must have at least
+one.
+
+ item Windows can be in one or more workspaces at the same time, with
+different positions in each.

+
+ heading 3.2 Viewports
+
+ itemize @bullet
+
+ item Workspaces can be bigger than your monitor, here is where the
+concept of Viewport comes into play, it gives you a view into this bigger
+space. All Workspaces must share the same size, though, like if they
+were cut all at once.
+
+ item You can move the Viewport around, and you will see how windows that
+go out of the right side of the screen will appear from the left, if
+you moved your viewport to the right. It is a continous surface. The
+scrolling can be in full monitor increments or partial.
+
+ c navigate, configure, etc

+
+ heading 3.3 Layers
+
+ itemize @bullet
+
+ item Sometimes you want to keep some windows above all other windows. Or
+maybe below them. Sawfish does this by means of Layers. A window in a
+layer will always appear in a given depth, above lower valued layers, but
+below.
+
+ item Default level is 0, windows below are in negative levels, and windows
+above are in positive levels. Many WMs support just three layers, Sawfish
+by default assigns them the numbers -2, 0 and 2.
+
+ c change, configure matchers, etc
