Hi,
For my own, I hope this will help, I'm using 10 Workspace with very Kick shortcut (ALT-Fx, where x is the number of the workspace (0-9)). In this way I have 10 virtual screen an each of the screen are totally Dedicate to a kind of usage. So, If you open ssh session on each virtual Screen for saying 4 servers, your 'application list' bar will not be overloaded with all your opened application, and will only Show your program on this screen only. regards Marzullo Laurent Atos Origin - Gestion de Configuration mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tél: 01 44 (44 55 54) -----Message d'origine----- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la part de Jordan Mendler Envoyé : samedi 13 mai 2006 21:20 À : [email protected] Objet : Suggestion: CDE style minimizing to desktop I had a suggestion, but I am not sure if this is a correct place to post it, so please let me know if it isn't. I think GNOME should integrate the ability to minimize windows to a desktop icon as is the case with CDE. I like GNOME a lot better than any other desktop environment, except when it comes to managing lots of servers I use CDE solely because of this feature. For those that haven't used CDE, by clicking a button on a windows title bar's (located in the top right next to maximize), CDE will minimize the window to a desktop icon. Then to restore the window you just double-click the respective window's icon from the desktop. This is very useful because it allows you to have tons of programs open and easily accessible without occupying monitor space like with the gnome-panel. In my case, I keep an ssh session open to every server we have. When I am not using a particular server I just minimize the terminal to an icon on the desktop and it is completely out of the way. When I need to access any given system I just go to the desktop and can very easily locate and open whichever server I need. Unfortunately I do not know how to program so I can't do this myself, but I thought it would be a really neat and useful feature to be considered in subsequent GNOME releases, or possible as an add-on. If GNOME added at 4th button to the top-right of each windows so you can either exit, maximize/restore windows size, minimize to panel, or minimize to desktop I think that would be pretty unique and bad ass. At work, I know of at least 2 other administrators that use CDE over GNOME for this reason alone. Of course this also means having to have a second workstation running GNOME for all my non-terminal needs since CDE is otherwise pretty lousy. If GNOME had this feature I could very easily have a panel open for email, web, documents, etc and then just keep all the ssh sessions minimized to the desktop of the same system. Please post any comments or thoughts on this matter. Or, if something like this already exists as an add-on or option somewhere please let me know. I would be imagine there are a lot of other people that have run into this same kind of problem with GNOME, KDE and the like.
