IMHO, ECB requires a monitor at least 19" large when all the windows are
used. In my own case, I have a 21" monitor at office, like many other
developers I know. (No offense to those using a small monitor, indeed, I use
a 17" one at home.) Then the following layout make a lot of sense:

--------------------------------------
 src |        |                      |
-----| mthd 1 |    edit 1            |
     |        |                      |
 dir |-------------------------------
     |        |                      |
-----| mthd 2 |    edit 2            |
 hst |	      |                      |
--------------------------------------

Indeed, I split the edit window usually when I want to edit two different
files. If only a single method window is available, the content of the
method window will be updated each time you switch to the other window.
