Let me explain better: I use a virtual desktop (VD) for example: Developing, the VD1 just have Developing Application: KDevelop,QTdesigner, Konsole, err... that's it. On VD2 Surfing(TM): Firefox, Mozilla Suite, Thunderbird and XChat. On VD3: Media Playing (not affiliated with Microsoft nor Vista or any combination): MPlayer, VLC, Amarok and AudioOverload. And On, And On, And On... that until the six desktops are full (I left one always free to see my beautiful wallpaper and for GKrellM... in case my Celeron 533MHz reach more than 32Celsius :) )
I don't see the idea of one desktop full of tiled windows, too many information. That can't be processed by a "normal" human (MS users are sub-normal, in most cases. I know, there are people who really know how to use Windows and it's registry (HelpDesk staff?)).
Ah, yes! Much clearer now. I really dislike "full" windows, too... it almost feels claustrophobic when there isn't enough background showing. OTOH, it doesn't bother me when I'm editing source documents. I navigate visually, by structure, as I'm sure you do, too. Under those conditions I actually feel less constrained if I'm working in a "full page" (at least equal to a printed 8.5" x 11") to the left while keeping a preview open to the right. In that mode, when I need a refreshing 'background break' I use the 'show desktop' button. :-) I don't seem to have that 'constrained' feeling if I've got several small apps running on the same desktop. I tend to arrange them so they're not 'crowding' each other and each has plenty of "elbow room." Thanks again for your comments & take care!
