24 * To get the big concept: There are helper structures like struct
25 * Workspace_Assignment. Every struct which is also defined as type (see
26 * forward definitions) is considered to be a major structure, thus important.
28 * The following things are all stored in a 'Con', from very high level (the
29 * biggest Cons) to very small (a single window):
31 * 1) X11 root window (as big as all your outputs combined)
32 * 2) output (like LVDS1)
33 * 3) content container, dockarea containers
36 * ... (you can arbitrarily nest split containers)
37 * 6) X11 window containers
