But I prefer either misc/tmux or misc/dtach for that.

BSD window and "dvtm" are simply console window managers..
Thanks.

Why didn't you just test it out? switch into another virtual console while X is running.. type "window".
The reason I didn't test it out is that I'm not running BSD right now. I'm on Slackware. I don't have NetBSD fully running right now (I did check their site and it is a part of their base, too). I got my current desktop right at the start of the semester, and I got it installed but that is it. I have Slackware up and running and during the middle of the semester, I lack the time and courage to tinker with the system that has all my homework and configured software. In the past, I gather all these ideas during the semester and then test them out during the breaks. With the laptop coming, I'm planning on making that exclusively NetBSD - so I'll have a more-or-less dedicated system to that so I can try all this out.
