Anyone noticed that if you have your mouse over an open part of the desktop that in 3.2 you can switch virtual desktops with the wheel of a wheel mouse. I discovered this by accident today. I think this rocks. I hope it is a feature and I just don't have some settings messed up and this is a result. Anyone else witnessed this behavior? -- Linux User #147972 ---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org -- "There is no need to teach that stars can fall out of the sky and land on a flat Earth in order to defend religious faith."

Ben, I believe it is a feature as I remember seeing a setting for this in kcontrol somewhere recently. If I had not seen it before, I might think you were just nuts! ;o) Lee -- --- KMail v1.6 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...

Indeed, it's a great feature and it must be enable via kcontrol -> desktop -> virtual desktop, at the bottom of the tab. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

I can't find it. The tabs under Desktop that I see are: Behavior Multiple Desktops Panels Taskbar Window Behavior No "Virtual Desktop". Paul Abrahams

Multiple Desktops
Choice the one above. (that's the problem with a good translated desktop :)
Found it - thanks. So putting it all together for the record: To use the feature of scrolling through windows with the mouse wheel, go to Control Center / Desktop / Multiple Desktops and check the box at the bottom. Paul Abrahams
