Jiri, I think you misunderstood me.

the left/right  or top/bottom would be telling the user weather they 
want the area joined with the top being used for the new joined area, or 
the botom as the main area.
(basicly which side of the boarder to use)
Whis this it wouldent matter which area the user used to be in, they 
would select the area as a menu item.

About not having an extra menu for spaces of the name type.
Im being picky here- but sometimes you have complex stuff in your 3d 
view, animated bg textures, unlocked layer arrangements, view settings 
etc. that you dont want replaced by another view. So assuming that the 
views are the same just because they are the same type is not necessarly 
right.
Cheers- and thanks for the boarder splitting- its a lot better.
