Maybe the original poster was looking for virtual desktops. I use
Fluxbox as a manager and the virtual desktops are a menu item as they
are in KDE and others I presume. <br>
Just a thought.<br>

I believe that in your X config you specify a display resolution smaller<br>than your desktop size.<br><br>However, most people find this so annoying that most distributions go<br>out of their way to help people by not letting that happen easily. For
<br>example, in SUSE 10.1 (which I was just testing the other day), I can<br>only change desktop size, it automatically changes the monitor<br>resolution so it stays in sync with whatever I pick for the desktop.<br><br>Never the less I'm sure its still possible by manually editing the X
<br>config.<br><br>--<br>John Lange<br>OpenIT ltd. <a href="http://www.Open-IT.ca">www.Open-IT.ca</a> (204) 885 0872<br>VoIP, Web services, Linux Consulting, Server Co-Location<br><br>On Wed, 2006-05-17 at 20:11 -0500, schwartz wrote:
