Hi,
first of all I must say that I am quite impressed of Étoilé 0.2. I did not 
expect it to already work well enough for day-to-day usage. There are a couple 
of glitches I consider as minor, but what really bugs me is dektop handling.
Azalea has the ability to use several desktops. In fact, it defaults to four 
desktops. Unfortunately, I cannot really use them. First of all, I see no way 
to start an application on another destop than the first one. I even cannot 
move it between desktops without the help of a tool such as wmctrl. Do I d 
something wrong here or is this a missing feature?
What is worse (for the moment I could live with wmctrl) is the fact that modal 
windows (dialogs) always appear on desktop one and not on the desktop where the 
application resides that spawned the modal window. Also, the menu server does 
not work with other desktops than the first one. I can see the menu bar and the 
application's top level menu items, but the submenus would not open. After 
experimenting a while I found out that the submenus open again on the first 
desktop, but are invisible! I know that they are there, because when I move the 
mouse in the area where they should be I can see the next level of submenus 
open more or less out of thin air.

While I am talking about menus, one other question. Is it intentional (probably 
yes) that upon right-click no (context) menu appears? What would be the design 
decision behind this behaviour?

Thanks,
Andreas
