Re: Workspace/desktop switching

I've been using multiple desktops for years - in fact since I first
acquired a 486-25 (!) at work, the first machine I had which had
enough "welly" to run X. fvwm-2 was the window manager.

My reasons are the same as most that have been quoted already: I use
desktop 1 for xterms, 2 for xemacs, 4 for galeon/mozilla, 5 for
openoffice, 6 for VMWare, 7 for sound apps, 11 for vnc, 12 for kmail.

I usually have 12 desktops enabled (there is little extra cost after
all) and use the others as spares.

Oh yes, I'm using kwm under kde3.1 almost exclusively these days
except for vnc session where I use icewm.
