It is puzzling the Windows stuff is so inefficient, since the concept has been around a long time. I first used multiple desktops with FVWM over 10 years ago on a Solaris workstation. Even Sun OpenLook had that feature and CDE certainly did. I really could not be productive without it. -- Smoot Carl-Mitchell System/Network Architect email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cell: +1 602 421 9005 home: +1 480 922 7313
