I have a lot of desktops here. If I run that command in a Konsole, can I still click to switch to the desktop that Dolphin is running on? I have to click to switch since the usual offender is on desktop 12, 13 or 14. I can't switch there with the F keys. It seems something else uses those shortcuts. Now to read up a little on that command. Never heard of it before. Dale :-) :-)
