With my 640x480 laptop screen, I usually use FVWM2 with 4x4 virtual
screens. The Civclient main window is arranged in a way that the small
and the detailed map are on different screens. So I can switch between
them with Ctrl-Left or Ctrl-Right.

The windows are arranged in the following way:

  0       1       2       3

I think we only need smaller tiles for this purpose :-)

That's the reason for my (stupid) idea to split at least the small and
the detailed map into separate windows. Even with 1024x768 resolution,
this would be useful (especially with large tiles).

Ciao,
Florian.
