at tokamak one of the kwin guys mentioned that windows being associated with one and only one desktop was fairly ingrained in the spec and lots of windowy code. I don't have a lot of time on my hands and aaron's enthusiatic about Overview, so I'm hoping that we can effectively win window-tagging through activity associations, and just let virtual desktops slowly fade... it also gives me the ability to say "these windows are all part of project foo, but I want the code ones on this desktop, the documentation windows on that desktop, and designer gets a desktop of its own because it's got too many little windows". :) so I have more than my screen resolution's "space" for each activity's windows (but not for the plasmoids.. huh) -- This message brought to you by eevil bananas and the number 3. www.chani3.com
