Or if researching something you may have a window open with multiple tabs open for that, with another window that you're working in. I'll typically start a task and if it gets big send it to its own desktop, which may be a few konsole windows and any other programs that are relevant (browser, spreadsheet etc.). In the case of browsers, some sites or applications will use their own sub-windows, e.g. I listen to BBC iplayer radio, this really wants its own window sized to their interface, and it's easier to let it do that rather than open in a tab (so it can be minimised without cluttering up tabs I actually want to look at). -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
