Thanks for the "organizational" tip.. Sounds like a smart way to 
categorize one's activities and I'll give it a shot asap.

But why do you need to dis/re-connect to your different sessions..?

Are you using a system (or some peculiar connection context..) where you 
cannot use multiple consoles/xterms.. or am I missing something..?

I plan to use this on two linux consoles and switch via Alt+F1 - Alt+F2 
.. eg. (or two full-screen aterms and use my window manager's 
window-switching capabilities..)

Apologies for not providing a "pure screen solution" but I thought I'd 
ask for more details since the "usability problem"  interests me..

Cheers,
