I don't have the exact hierarchy as you describe, but I did find some Window and Desktop Switching Effects controls under "Desktop Effects". However, there is a note on that page stating that "Compositing is not supported on your system." Thus, all of the settings are grayed out. In any case, thanks very much for the reply. -- Mun D> Try these in turn, hit apply and change desktops to see if it does what D> you want, while the control panel applet staying open to allow you to D> change further settings as you choose to.
