I think what you're calling a "desktop" most X display managers refer to as a "workspace" (there are so many ways to possibly name the same thing; it's really helpful if everyone uses the same names). All desktop environments I'm familiar with have options that let you specify that a window should appear on all workspaces, so even when you switch workspaces the window doesn't move. Right-click on the title bar and look for the "Always on visible workspace" (or similarly-named) option. In newer versions of GNOME you can actually specify that one entire screen should not change when you switch workspaces, so any window you put on that screen automatically stays put and switching workspaces applies only to the other screen(s). This is what I use and it's perfect. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
