In a sense it is no different than when Gnome had disappearing panels that reappeared when you hovered the mouse over their location. It just seems a natural gesture to me. Particularly if the workplaces opened fully displayed with this gesture and not as a thin bar on the right that you have to place the cursor on to get a full view. 3) To make me content, at least for a short while, I would like to be able to designate which workspace applications opened in in in the startup file. For example, I do a lot of writing. When I login or re-boot, I would like Firefox to be open in one workspace, evolution and X-chat open in another workspace, and all my writing tools -- OOo Writer, dictionary, thesaurus and calculator available in another workspace. I have fancier requests for this but they can wait. Just checking with the user's list to see if I am alone, or if I should file a request for enhancement. -- Regards Bill Fedora 15, Gnome 3.0.2 Evo.3.0.2, Emacs 23.2.1 _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
