It doesn't do it all the time but it happens often enough to keep
catching me out as I keep forgetting about it (most of the time I
finish with Photoshop before switching accounts).
Of course, it could easily depend on the other apps/utilities I have
on my system. I tend to leave quite a lot running.
I solve this working environment problem by
a) using gentle, soft toned B&W images as desktop backgrounds,
b) using Full Screen mode in Photoshop for editing adjustment
most of the time,
with a mid-tone to light gray backdrop.
With two screens, the full screen mode doesn't have quite the same
benefit as it only works on the primary monitor. In my "work"
account I chose a solid mid-grey backdrop and the "graphite" colour
scheme. I find it a bit bland, which is why I have my second account
with a nice big panorama spread across the two screens.
Most of the time I am using one of the two full-screen modes anyway.
The other screen has the palettes and a Finder window. I tried going
back to a single screen for a while, but it ended up getting in the
way when I started needing lots of windows open when working on a
project in Dreamweaver. F9 and F10 were the only things standing
between me and insanity.
Thanks for the tip... yet another feature that I didn't know existed ;)
Cheers,
