It creates as many workspaces as you could possibly ever need, as you need them. If you only need 3 that day, you have 3, or if you need 15, you get 15. All you gotta do is press the super key -> click on the workspace. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Well Perl and C++ use it as part of their syntax. In your example, the
module DateTime contains Format which contains Natural. So the full name of
Natural would be DateTime::Format::Natural.
And in C++ it's used to display the scope of namespaces and classes, and so
on. For example if you had something like:
namespace example {
class Hello {
static int myMethod();
}
}
In order to call myMethod() you would do example::Hello::myMethod().

The "pauses" happen most noticeably while using vim. My guess is this is being caused by some programs ive installed not working well with each other maybe. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

They both have their strong points IMO. I was a GNOME user for a long time and later switched to KDE. GNOME has a simplicity thing about it that makes it easier to use sometimes. But if you're a die-hard GNOME user and then switch to KDE and really give it a chance, I think you'll find that KDE has a lot of nice features that GNOME just doesn't have. And I don't mean just eye-candy stuff (although KDE's menus, etc. are easier on the eyes and look more modern).
