For example in KDE, if I want to switch to the 2nd desktop, I press Alt F7 and then Alt F6 to go back.
Hm, not the same thing here. Right now I'm logged in, with the same user, to both KDE and Gnome (KDE came first). From neither of them does Alt F7 have any effect on the session I see. I can go to other shells with Ctrl-Alt F1-6, and once there a simple Alt F# takes me to any of the other sessions, 1-6 for the log-in shells and 7 for the graphic desktop. But, no matter from which desktop I switched to the shell (1-6), once in the shell Alt F7 will always take me to KDE (I assume this is because I logged in there first, which is why I mentioned it). But the behaviour you describe does not occur here. Perhaps it's configurable? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
