(that's a bad idea...) You can still switch between contexts, they are just on different desktops. I have Emacs (usually with two frames, i.e. windows) on one desktop, a browser on another, lots of desktops each with a tmux session on a different machine. I have pretty much always worked like this, since using FVWM on Potato and some SGI machines which were around back then. I don't think it has prevented me from multitasking, although I am indeed currently writing in only one window on one desktop, so maybe I am missing out on something ... Also it is pretty easy to move windows onto other desktops if I do need to compare or copy something The only thing I don't like about the default Gnome set up is that the desktops are aligned linearly, so I use the 'Workspace Matrix' plug-in to have 4 rows of 2 desktops. But its horse for courses, I guess. [snip (15 lines)] Cheers, Loris -- This signature is currently under constuction.
