Because when you use the window managers builtin facilities then all programs will be started on the same virtual desktop and I want to start them on different ones. Second reason is that I want to fetch the programs to start from a database so I can easily change the programs to be started. -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
