Sounds like what you are looking for is to create a second user.
Nope, I want to have 2 really seperated desktops for one user, not a virtual desktop. Second user, on a diferent vty, not a virtual desktop.
Currently KDE uses ~/Desktop for all virtual desktops. I wonder, why it has never been implemented to have its own desktop folder for each virtual desktop. As far as I know Windows Vista is capable of achieving this, wouldn't know Gnome as well... not my cuppa tea, I'm to busy trying to learn to like kde4.xxx since it will be replacing a horribly usable, intuitive and functional kde3.xxx soon X-(
There are hacks you could use such as creating a folder named desktop(#x), open that folder using view icons with konqueror on your selected (#x)virtual desktop, turn off the toolbars and menu's, then setting the window preference to "behind all", "fullscreen", "no border". You could set up a profile for each workspace in konq if you wanted to as well. (or just save the session when you log out) Terribly hackish I know but it would come very close to what you describe without having to set up another user. in kde4 yoiu could achieve the same effect very simply using folder views, (only 1 wallpaper though
Alternately you can wait until kde4 releases its implementation, called something like tasks or functionalities or workspaces (can't remember right now)
I think the term I was looking for is "Activities" I believe this will be implemented something like folderview but really have not paid that much attention.
Exactly, this is what Gnome has, it is called "workspaces" if I remember correctly. I found discussions from 2003 at kde-forums.org, it is sad that within 5 years they have not implemented this, I'm surely not the only one who likes to have such a feature.
