Opening the same application, like OpenOffice.org or Firefox on 4 different desktops causes confusion when a new link is started in e.g. Firefox or a new document or spreadsheet is opened from Konqueror.

When a new link is opened in a new window, sometimes it opens in one of the other Desktops. I have to search all desktops to find the newly opened window. Similarly, if a new document is opened with a right click and the "Open with ..." is selected for the appropriate application, it seems to open where the last active session of the application was used. It is sometimes quite annoying when U forget that it may be opened somewhere else, and U click a second time. Is this normal behaviour to open files in other desktops than the one the start is initiated?

No, that's not normal and it doesn't happen to me - unless I go to another workspace before the window has opened. And some applications do not properly behave in this respect (yast, OOo sometimes).

Upper left hand corner... click ... To Desktop. Problem solved.

But you don't even say what desktop and version you use...

Till next time. Why should he have to chase child windows all over the system?

You're not chasing a child window when it's following you to the new desktop you switched to while it was loading. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Try that with yast, qt/you module, gnome desktop, while it is donwloading the repo list, and then see if you can keep what you said. Or I could save you time telling you there is a bugzilla about it :-p

Oh..that problem...the one where the opening window of a new child process keeps dragging you back to the other desktop... Sorry..the OP's way of describing it sounded like something completely different. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Carlos, I have KDE delivered with OpenSUSE 10.3 with all recent online updates.

w.r.t. the OP description: Let me try to describe it better.

With OOo-Writer: I have 2 desktops.

On desktop 1 I have Konqueror opened my Documents directory.

I move to Desktop 2. There I start OOo-Writer.

I move back to Desktop 1. In Konqueror I click on an *.odt file. The file opens, but in the already opened OOo-Writer on Desktop 2.

This may be intentional, but I think kde allows some customization of this behaviour. I can't say for sure.

It is reproducable with OOo-Writer and Adobe 8 Reader every time, but only in Firefox when I use it with the ERPII system.

As I don't know what an ERPII is, I can't help much there. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
