[Ayatana] Multiple virtual desktops in Unity

2011-04-14 Thread Jorge Ortega
I find Unity approach to multiple virtual desktops extremely half-hearted: it just provides the option to used them and an icon which you can't remove from the bar. Unity could use virtual desktop in a transparent way: 1-Don't show icon if only a desktop is being used. 2-*Apps. should open in a n

uity of "how the hell do I find my way through this mess of 10 open windows in the same workspace". This is the problem I was trying to address. How many time have you seen it (or suffered it)? some one trying to find that app varied between many other windows... On 14 April 2011 22:10,

I think it is an interesting solution. I suggested before something a bit more radical: that every application when open, would create its own virtual workspace. To do this only for maximised applications is also, I think, a good idea. On 21 July 2011 19:36, Jonathan Meek wrote: > I recently sa
