I've tried starting several desktops (some remote) and noticed something curious. The desktops start on vt7, then vt8 & vt9. But then for some reason, vt10 is skipped and the next desktop appears on vt11. When I switch to vt10, it appears as though it's being used for some status or error messages. Why is it here, instead of perhaps on vt6?
Historic reasons probably. VT10 has always been the console to use as reader for kernel messages, see your /etc/syslog{-ng}.conf and /etc/inittab files if you wish to change this.
tnx
I've also noticed that you can have more desktops than available function keys. However, you have to use the switch user menu, to do that.
VirtualTerminals (VT's) and desktops are not one and the same. They have nothing to do with "switch user menu". -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
