DON'T get rid of snapshot! I use it to arrange things so that the windows
come out where I want them. When you have a bunch of stuff on a hard disk,
this can be quite useful, else you end up with a big mishmash of windows
scattered all over the place. I don't regularly use the WorkBench, but when
I do, I prefer it to be tidy. For deeply nested drawers, I tend to make
all of the contained ones open up just inside the top-left corner of the
containing one. I also rearrange and resize them for minimum size.
