I still like the gnome 'grouped' tabs along the bottom of the display.<br>
<br>
Often have 12 to 20 xterm windows open all going to different servers<br>
so being able to open the horizontal alligned group, vertically upward<br>
then selecting the appropriately xterm window is important to me.<br>
<br>
However I do find it painful that the window will only open on the<br>
original workspace and not the current one. Or if open on another<br>
workspace it moves to my current workspace.<br>
<br>
Using right button does pop up sub-menus for each window but the options<br>
also seem unhelpful, other than to make a window visible in all<br>
workspaces, which is also not desirable.<br>
<br>
The current situation limits my use of multiple workspaces.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I looked at other 'panels' but found them more limited than the gnome<br>
panel, which I only used because it was available by default. I am not<br>
after 'pretty' or 'flash', just one that works well and can be configured<br>
to do what I want.<br>
<br>
Oh well the search goes on for a 'better' panel.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Well, it would be a pretty minor patch to make the gnome panel send a better sequence of messages to open a window on the current desktop. If you are into that. It would be worth bringing it up in the gnome bugzilla also if you have some faith in that sorta thing.</div>
