Ah, thank you! I don't know how I missed that checkbox when I was playing
with the drop down right below it. :-)
And I do work task-oriented, but my tasks are not application-limited. I'm a
web developer, so I'll have a Kate window, Konqueror (browser) window,
Konqueror (file manager) window, GIMP window, etc. open all at once. I don't
want all of the konqueror windows clustered together, especially when I'll
have five open to different sites (the site I'm working on, references, a
site I'm studying, etc.) and it's confusing if they're all together instead
of nicely spaced out.
I also like my "common" tasks, like KMail or Gaim, to always be on all
desktops. That also then puts those flush-left, always, which makes more
grouping sense to me.
Once again, thanks!
