I think since I always have Konsole open and ready, it is easier for me |
| 12 |
to use it. If I rarely had Konsole open, then that might come in |
| 13 |
handy. I have Konsole with several tabs open and parked on desktop 3. |
| 14 |
It's stuck there at all times. I have 18 virtual desktops and some have |
| 15 |
specific programs on certain desktops. Seamonkey web browser is always |
| 16 |
on desktop 1. Seamonkey email is on desktop 2. The list goes on. I'm |
| 17 |
pretty organized in that way. ;-) |

I have Konsole set to run su - when it opens so that messes up that. It |
| 40 |
opens and cd's to the directory but wants to run as root. I guess I |
| 41 |
could find a way to get a root Konsole another way but most of the time, |
| 42 |
I need it as root anyway. On the rare occasion I need it as my user, I |
| 43 |
just su dale and carry on. |

I will say this, using mv was much easier and faster than my old way a |
| 47 |
bit ago. Thanks Arve for that suggestion. It's command line but it |
| 48 |
works well and does exactly what I want. I was hoping for a GUI method |
| 49 |
but this works. |
