What window manager are you using? In the CDE environment the wm I use is dtwm. How did you get the applications and GUIs to go into differing workspaces? In the CDE environment - through the use of shell scripts I navigate from one workspace to another automatically. Here is the dtksh script code: ******************************************************************************** *** XtInitialize TOPLEVEL dtWsTest DtWsTest "$0" "$@" if DtWsmGetWorkspaceList $(XtDisplay "-" $TOPLEVEL) \ $(XRootWindowOfScreen "-" $(XtScreen "-" $TOPLEVEL)) \ WS_LIST; then IFS=, for item in $WS_LIST; do XmGetAtomName NAME $(XtDisplay "-" $TOPLEVEL) $item if test $NAME = $1 then DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace $TOPLEVEL $item fi done else echo "Unable to get workspace list" exit -1 fi ******************************************************************************** ****** Other cshell scripts call on this block of code and passed the ws number argument - ei. ws3 Once the code is exercised, it automatically switches to the desire workspace. clear as mud huh!
