Hi Darryl, yep, true... you can send a program to a specific desktop but in this particular case about YaST that Carlos has pointed out (it also happens to me with Skype, for example) the application takes the focus, no matter on which desktop you are working on...
I also run different programs in different desktops but, by now, I only know how to send them to a desktop, not how to force them. I'll take a closer look at the "window-specific settings" you mention when I'm back at home...

I haven't used them, so don't know how well they work, but I have got into the habit of loading various programs in different desktops, mostly to avoid desktop clutter. I haven't used Gnome at all, so don't know if/how you would approach it there, but once Yast loads, you could try a right-click on the title bar, left click on properties, and look for "window-specific settings" in the pop-up. -- Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. -- HG Wells -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff?
