Workspaces yes, I use six at the moment. Luckily Metacity has both
"next/previous" and "north/south/east/west" navigation for workspaces,
which is good as I have 3x2.
Matched windows are a bummer in Metacity at the moment, Havoc I believe
has said they are 'crack' but I'm sure if enough pester him he'll either
add them or come up with an alternative solution. I used to use matched
windows mainly for programs like Gkrellm which I want to appear on all
desktops, but as I only login once a week for the moment I put up with
having to tell Metacity to put it on all workspaces.
Now I'm off for pizza,
Ross
