Then by clicking on winwatch I have virtual desktops of a sort and only sacrifice a bit of real estate for winwatch. It's all started by scripts that run from my lib/profile too, so I don't have to do any manual work beyond logging in. Dealing with different screen resolutions kind of sucks though, it could be that it's my rc scripting and understanding of the rio control namespace isn't very good yet. > Russ >
