I use Virtual Desktops to expand my desktop horizonally and Multiple Desktops (Desktop Panes from DR .14?) to have logically separate spaces for doing logically separate things.Il giorno Sun, 13 Feb 2005 12:30:56 +0900 Carsten scrisse:
yes. fvwm like 10+ years ago was doing the mouse to edge to flip to a new desktop trick. i can tell you why they dont do it today. it's confusing to new/novice users and amazingly confusing. sure it's great for power users. watch your grandma on a linux box accidentally flip to a virtual desktop just if her mouse was on the left. to her everything suddenly changed for no reason and she goes "what the hell?" and is now completely confused as to whats going on.
I had always used virtual desktops in e16 and no multiple desktops at all, but I prefer to move from one desktop to another with alt+shift+arrow (the default keybinding for this) instead of using edge flip. this way his grandma would not be confused :)
I hope e17 will have virtual desktops, so I can use it the same way.
BTW, my folks always comment on the sound of changing from one Virtual Desk to the other. Not sure they know what is happening but they like the sound. ;-)
