During the change I figured I'd also try migrating from<br>Fluxbox (which I've used for many, many years) to Gnome.<br><br>Overall I have to say I quite like Gnome, but I'm not yet convinced<br>it's better for my needs than Fluxbox.<br><br>My biggest problem with it is that I'm a *HUGE* fan of virtual<br>desktops, and I like to configure my system
so each desktop has a<br>primary role... With one for each of the following<br><br>* Web browsing<br>* Comms (Email/IM etc...)<br>* xterms<br>* Emacs,<br>* Development (with Netbeans),<br><br>And then a few more for testing, and other miscellaneous things...<br><br>My problem when recreating this in Gnome is that applications have a<br>tendency to move to the current desktop. e.g. When I click a URL in<br>my email client (Thunderbird, or Prism/Gmail) then my Firefox session<br>moves itself from the Web browsing desktop to my Email desktop!<br><br>I can see why this behavior is useful for those new to such<br>environments, but for me it's just plain annoying. Does anyone know<br>how to get Gnome/metacity to do this? Or do I need to switch window<br>managers to something more functional like Sawfish/Enlightenment?<br><br>I'm still keen to stick with the Gnome desktop environment if I can,<br>but if I can't resolve this then I think I'm going to have to switch<br>back to
Fluxbox or maybe wmii.<br><br>R.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>dundee GNU/Linux Users Group mailing list<br>dundee@lists.lug.org.uk http://dundee.lug.org.uk<br>https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dundee<br>Chat on IRC, #tlug on dundee.lug.org.uk<br></blockquote><br><p>
