It's not as bad as it sounds. I rarely use more than 2 virtual desktops, and depending on what I'm doing, there's an informal "system": when doing development the left monitor is for looking at PDF datasheets, center monitor is for edit/build source files, right hand monitor is for "running" the program. When I get interrupted by a phone call or visitor and need to do someting else temporarily, I flip one or more of the screens to a different virtual desktop. It's sort of like a CPU for which you have a reguster usage convention and a stack to push "in-use" registers onto when you get interrupted or have to switch contexts. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwards Yow!
