Not that easy. The problem is more visible when the desktop is filled |
| 21 |
with a Mozilla window and I change to this desktop. I would need a wm |
| 22 |
with virtual desktops and it had to be possible to change desktops via |
| 23 |
keyboard. |

I'm getting tired of KDE: each upgrade brings new problems. I would give |
| 26 |
it up if I could find a wm supporting multiple desktops (with the |
| 27 |
possibility of different backgrounds) and control via keyboard. I can't |
| 28 |
get KDE's goodies, like shadows and transparency, to work, anyway... |
