Hi Terry, thanks for the info. I found a solution: KDE.
Probably not the answer this list wanted to hear, but that's how things are. I remember tackling this problem already a year ago, and I cannot believe nothing moved on this topic. Granted, I could have worked myself more into the topic. But everything I saw so far points to a serious design problem with major work involved to get it fixed.
