Thanks, I did not know this was available. Then the windows in each 
frame can be seen as a tree using those fields you mentioned. But what 
should then be done with this? What should the mapping between this tree 
and the visual view be? It looks to me that the level in the tree alone 
will not give any useful hint. The topology (ie whether the splitting 
was horizontal or vertical) must be taken into account, but maybe the 
level in the tree can be used too? It actually looks a bit difficult...
