I've been using multiple desktops for years - in fact since I first acquired a 486-25 (!) at work, the first machine I had which had enough "welly" to run X. fvwm-2 was the window manager.
My reasons are the same as most that have been quoted already: I use desktop 1 for xterms, 2 for xemacs, 4 for galeon/mozilla, 5 for openoffice, 6 for VMWare, 7 for sound apps, 11 for vnc, 12 for kmail. I usually have 12 desktops enabled (there is little extra cost after all) and use the others as spares. Oh yes, I'm using kwm under kde3.1 almost exclusively these days except for vnc session where I use icewm. -- |Deryk Barker, Computer Science Dept. | Music does not have to be understood| |Camosun College, Victoria, BC, Canada| It has to be listened to. | |email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |phone: +1 250 370 4452 | Hermann Scherchen. | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
