after each such desktop change. one reason would be to re-orient (because you may have forgot where you were), another is to get a feeling how close you are to the edge of the "world". I know the pager can be used for that, but the pager is sometimes hidden under a maximized window, and the popup window isn't. in fact, both modules are very closely related, I think the feature of the popup windows with the desktop name can might as well be a part of the pager (Along with setting a name for a desktop, again in a spatial way (right click in the desktop, than rename, for example). ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
