Just to follow up from an older message about giving Win4Lin its own desktop under KDE, I had a bit of a fiddle around with my RH7.1 + Ximian Gnome machine to get a similar result. It was fairly easy. I seem to recall someone wanted this info, and I don't think any other suggestion was given. The main assumption I'm making is that Sawfish is the window manager, since everything I'm tweaking is a Sawfish option. Start by opening the Gnome Control Center. Under the "Sawfish window manager" heading, we'll be playing with two of the controls. "Matched Windows" and "Workspaces". First, go to "Workspaces". It's most likely that you'll want to add an extra workspace for Windows to live in, although if you don't, then you can skip this bit. I'd really recommend more than one, though. :) The easiest thing to do is just bump up the "workspaces" setting up by one. For the purposes of this example, I'm going to assume you start with two workspaces and go up to three. You can also play with the arrangement of the workspaces here, but that's for someone else's documentation to deal with. Finally, open the "Matched Windows" panel. Hit the "Add" button. This is a sort of "if ... then" type setup for adjusting window properties depending on what they are. At the top of the dialog, drop down one of the boxes at the top left and choose "Name". In the text box to the immediate right, type "Windows" (this being the text that appears in the title bar of the application). Now, down the bottom under the "Placement" tab, check the "Place mode" box and choose "top-left" from the dropdown box. Then tick "Workspace" and pick the number of the workspace you want to have Win4Lin running in. On my machine, it's "3". Move to the "Appearance" tab and check the "Frame type" box, and choose "none" from the drop-down. That's it. Hit OK on both the control dialog and the Control Center panel. From now on, when you fire up Win4Lin it'll be launched in Workspace 3 with no window borders or title bar. If you then set your Windows resolution to match your X resolution you have a Full-Screen Win4Lin session without the overhead of a second X server. Oh, you can use Control-Left Arrow or Control-Right Arrow to change workspaces, since it's likely you won't be able to see a desk guide applet any more. :) I hope this helps somebody. If anyone has a different experience, please let me know. It'd probably be a lot clearer presented as a web page with screenshots, so if there's enough demand, I'll rewrite it. Enjoy! Mike. _______________________________________________ Win4Lin-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.netraverse.com/mailman/listinfo/win4lin-users
