Makes me wonder what *I* don't know about Linux functionality too. I'm running KDE. I don't have any desktop icons in my taskbar. Pressing both the right and left mouse buttons brings up a menu with Unclutter Windows, Cascade Windows, Desktop1, <list of Desktop1 apps>, Desktop2, <list of Desktop2 apps>, etc. So I'm always running multiple desktops. General apps on one desktop, work specific on another, etc. One two button mouse press and I jump to the other desktop. It keeps me nice and organized and I'm not always opening and shutting down apps. I don't see where to enable the two button desktop list functionality. In "configure-kdesktop" (right click on desktop, configure...) I see "Mouse wheel over desktop background switches desktop" as an option. I have that disabled. Maybe that has something to do with it. I am also running dual widescreen monitors. Between the dual monitors and the multiple desktops, I'm using tons of desktop area. Its great ! Maybe my need for desktop area has something to do with the fact that I started programming on a Mac Plus, with a 9 inch monitor, B&W nonetheless. And it only ran 1 application reliably. The task switcher in Mac OS 6.x was prone to crash, especially if one had a pointer bug in their C code ! My how things have changed ! I have to say that I am much more productive with Linux than Windows. -- Kim Lux, Diesel Research Inc. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
