If you use only one maximized window at a time, there would be only one remaining reason for workspaces that I can think of, and that would be shortcuts for switching between them. Workspaces don't make much sense for switching between single windows, they only shine when it's about switching between _sets_ of windows. There are 2 ways to approach this regarding the underlying concept: either you have several desktops with windows on them, or you have one desktop and you show/hide groups of windows. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
