Hi ... Just discovered this myself, so I'm please to have an opportunity to share it! From the K Menu go to Configuration - KDE - LookNFeel - Taskbar Under Taskbar there's a checkbox that reads Show windows from all desktops Uncheck that and you will only see the open apps/files/etc for each desktop you're actually "in" ... (So when you go to your mp3 desktop, then you'll see your mp3 player, etc, but not the Open Office apps/files ... ) Hope this helps ... Adam
