And since I've switched to ubuntu at the same time (@reiso: finally needed so much scientific software that apt-get alone outweighted the costs to retrain my muscle memory), I needed a solution that did not require me to fiddle with window positions & size all the time. Enter: [url=http://awesome.naquadah.org/]Awesome[/url] - a tiled windows manager (in a way replaces your genome desktop) that does it for me :) . Basically: one window => maximized, two windows => side by side (or win+space later, top/bottom), three windows => one large, two small... Plus 'pseudo virtual desktops' called tags (0...9), which have the additional ability to display more than one tag at once, add in gnome-do and a real filemanager, and I finally have a dream desktop... (I use the ubuntu packages from [url=https://launchpad.net/~aguignard/+archive/ppa]Arnaud Guignard[/url] on jaunty) so, what do you guys pimp your linux boxes with? so long, ->Tyberius Prime Loading...
