>From reading the description of how that works, I would guess you should be able to start an instance of the X server with a different display number in each virtual desktop. e.g. in your 2nd desktop, start X (however you do that) with :1, and then use xterm -display :1 to connect to it. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
