Hi, I can't offer much help :) As you gathered, cwm doesn't have desktops, but it can emulate desktops, with a few caveats (as you've found one). I see this a lot from folks posting cwm configs - folks prefer desktops as opposed to groups, which is what the original cwm was designed around. The mixing of groups and ewmh desktops is fairly sloppy; replacing this emulation with actual desktops is something I would like to see; I have some inital stabs at it, but it does break groups and labels, thus it's almost a re-write from that stand-point (making all 3 work without setting so-called 'modes' of operations). Doesn't mean it won't happen; it bothers me enough to get back to it... Thanks, Okan
