[E-devel] Problem with Window Remember (Virtual Desktop)
Hey there, I have a problem with the remember-window-settings, that is there since this settings exists: If I remember the settings Virtual Desktop or Current Screen it works fine, but for starting the apps I need to have my focus/view on the screen the app should start on. This is a problem as you might forget that you turned on the remember-settings some time ago and the application simple won't show up when you start it, without an error. Especially if you have really many vdesktops it can be a problem to come to named desktop so you probably might look for an error where is none. So my question is: Is there a way to start this applications in background on the correct screen without viewing it? If not, would it at least be possible to have a little signal that the app will appear when the focus is on screen/vdesktop $x? Furthermore, for the first case, it would be cool to have a little reminder on which desktop the application started, I guess the pager-popup can do that job. As this could really improve the usability (and as I have this problem every month without remembering what the reason was :-) ) I'd be glad to get answers or even better a solution.

I've not tried in the last month... maybe two... but I seem to recall this working for me without errors. If anyone else can confirm this being an issue, I'll steal a monitor from my office and fix'er up.

Re: [E-devel] Problem with Window Remember (Virtual Desktop)
Well, I have to do a self-reply now: Seems the problem is not longer existing - the e17 version on my laptop was too old and it seems that it has been fixed some time ago. On my desktop it works perfectly. Consider the first mail as never written. :) Sorry for the circumstances, thomasg On 3/10/08, thomasg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey there, I have a problem with the remember-window-settings, that is there since this settings exists: If I remember the settings Virtual Desktop or Current Screen it works fine, but for starting the apps I need to have my focus/view on the screen the app should start on.
