I know precisely what you mean. Spaces seems mostly about segregating applications, but there are many applications (Web browsers, chat clients, etc.) whose windows can and should exist independently on separate desktops. If you click a link in an app in Space 1, the resulting page opens in whatever Space your browser is currently using instead of creating a new window in the current Space. Additionally, chat clients should be able to create new incoming IM windows in the current Space (regardless of where the Buddy List is housed), but that's not possible either. I operate with just one Space, at least for now... though using a second Space for virtual machines sounds like a good idea. -- Brad Beyenhof http://augmentedfourth.com If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about the answers. ~ Thomas Pynchon, writer (1937- ) -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
