Can assigning a different folder (Desktop1, Desktop2, etc) for each workspace be possible? If so, we can sort and keep files for each workspace. i think this is more logical for the idea of workspaces.
example, i use a cube with four workspaces. i can then use the workspace 1 for 'work', workspace 2 for 'Media', 3 for 'games', etc. could this then allow us to use different wallpaper for each of them? (without relying on the compiz wallpaper plugin?) Jasir On Wed, Jan 7, 2009 at 8:14 PM, Murat Yukselen <muratyukse...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hello, > > I have an idea on organizing icons.
