GNOME Shell is designed with the expectation that users will have overlapping windows. It's not designed for spreading out windows non-overlapping among multiple workspaces. The basic function of workspaces in the current design is to represent separate tasks with the expectation; most switching will occur between windows within the same desktop. There are going to be improvements for switching between workspaces (see http://jimmac.musichall.cz/log/), but current plans are to keep things a two-level thing - switch workspaces than switch windows. - Owen _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
