It is hardly a showstopper either and I expect xfce-4.10 does and as there has been a long time of testing before 4.10 was released as stable it is put at a bit of a disadvantage to Gnome and KDE for having the same aims as debian stable with the bugs I have come across such as in mimecache handling actually being down to gnome libraries. As already said the control of this is very simple via *randr. It also supports focus follows mouse, no raise on click which is something inherited from fvwm and Gnome cannot do even with gnome tweaks last time I checked and KDE had a bug open about it. I find that very useful to make the most of even multiple desktops and more would use it if they could. Atleast with 'win98' (rediculous and no reply to justify so far) you won't suddenly have users not knowing how to shutdown their machine like happened on was it win 8 and Gnome 3. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
