Thanks for the reminder Bruce, I looked at them some time ago when you
mentioned them and wanted to try, just didn't get round to it.  I see
there are Debian packages in Testing for them now so will have a play.
I like the idea of ION, especially for a laptop since the mouse is a
pain having to use the little nipple thing!  I couldn't tell from the
website, does ION use multiple workspaces?

Thanks
Steve.
