Greetings!
This is my first post to this list so please forgive me if its not written in a more apprreally appropriate style.
How would i go about configuring a persistant layout across all workspaces? Maby a better question would be, where in the documentation does it outline doing this? What i have in mind is a mrxvt terminal spanning the bottom of the screen, and all my other windows opening and tiling above it, basically looking like this..

Any and all thoughts and suggestions welcome, again sorry if this post does not fit with the netiquette of this list.

I don't exactly understand your image; what do you mean by screen 1 and screen 2? If those 'screens' are just windows, then that layout is just a mirror image of one of the default layouts. There are layout modifiers that can accomplish such rearrangments, such as this one [1]. By persistence do you mean that your terminal stays put when you change workspaces?
