[newbie] Terminal window dupes

[Meph Istopheles]

  Hey,

  I've never seen this happen in SunOS, RedHat 5.0, or RedHat
6.0.  What's the deal?

  Lately, I'm finding that if I open my pine in a terminal window
either opening at start of E or afterward, that ( only that)
terminal window duplicates itself on all four of my main
desktops.  Worse, if I close pine in any one of them, it's closed
in all.

  I've another terminal windows on desktop four opening when E
opens acting normally.

  The only changes I've made recently are having run /sbin/lilo a
few times ( still getting grub in spite of this being the
instruction to get rid of grub), I'd removed  reinstalled xmms
thinking that a problem with sound lay there  also installed
kmp3, , finally, fooled round with both /sbin/sndconfig  with
sound in drakconf to no avail.  Now I have no sound at all, but
I'll address that in another post.

  Any idea what could cause a terminal window to auto-duplicate
on each desktop?

  Hey John,

   Any idea what could cause a terminal window to auto-
  duplicate on each desktop?

  That's a similar problem to one I have

  I'll click on an application icon and get multiple occurrances
 opened up.

  Tom reminded me of something I remember reading long ago that
the "stickY" state of a window, if "remembered" or saved, will
put it on all your desktops.  So, next you have it open, check
the window settings to see if sticky is set.  If so, turn it off.

  Worked for me.
