It's not as bad as it sounds. I rarely use more than 2 virtual
desktops, and depending on what I'm doing, there's an informal
"system": when doing development the left monitor is for looking at
PDF datasheets, center monitor is for edit/build source files, right
hand monitor is for "running" the program.
When I get interrupted by a phone call or visitor and need to do
someting else temporarily, I flip one or more of the screens to a
different virtual desktop.
It's sort of like a CPU for which you have a reguster usage convention
and a stack to push "in-use" registers onto when you get interrupted
or have to switch contexts.
