There's currently no background-per-workspace feature, though I'm fairly certain it's on a hazy "will accept patches for this if they're sane and usable" list of things to do. - Jeff -- GVADEC 2004: Kristiansand, Norwayhttp://2004.guadec.org/ "Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am: Stuck in the middle with you." - Steeler's Wheel, Stuck in the Middle With You -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] virtual desktops in gnome
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 i finally got sufficiently pissed of with my imac and blew away macos9 and installed debian unstable. now as a normally devout fan of enlightenment, im quite enjoy having large virtual desktops and indeed, 2 or more virtual desktops indeed my ibook enjoys 2 virtual desktops each 2 screens wide. just for fun (and since i only use my imac as a glorified, tv-dvd combo anyway) i decided to let debian have mostly its own way and install gnome (i fought it valiently with dselect to hold off qt or anything beinging with a k). its quite nice and personally i think its about as user 'friendly' as windblows is these days. thats not an insult to gnome btw. anway, so i threw on a nice desktop. and there was much rejoicing. now i scrolled across on my virtual desktop, changed backgrounds and too my horror - all the backgrounds were the same. no probs ill just make a few virtual desktops h. well i gnome control panel doesnt give me any love. any gnome savy users out there... thats kind of a stupid question as for gnome version. look in unstable under us.debian.org Dean -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAfjRII1HDX08lY+ARAuGVAJ9DX7j4hNPa1vaI1/1VAszFCXm5fgCeKMEr 1ujKqCnagrhFAGe2Bk6hqHE= =ZyyG -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

This is really a matter for your window manager, not GNOME itself. Are you using Helix GNOME and Sawfish? Then you can go into the Control Centre and change your viewports settings in the Sawfish Workspaces section. I'm sure others will be able to help you with other window manager setups. You'll need to let us know. :) - Jeff -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- http://linux.conf.au/ -- Ye shall be cursed to fall in love so easily, and yet be so cold of heart as never to have the passion to express it. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Virtual desktops in GNOME
I am pretty new to GNOME. My .xinitrc has gnome-session at the end. What I am looking for is virtual desktops (like I had in FVWM2). I would like that available on the desktop or in the panel(if that's what it is called) on the bottom. Where can I find some sample configurations on how to setup virtual destops in GNOME? Thank you in advance. -- Subba Rao [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pws.prserv.net/truemax/ => Time is relative.
