   I like Dexpot better, if you are into this sort of stuff. But I agree with Aegis69, I don't get multiple desktops unless you require100% screen real estate 90% of the time or have a very tiny monitor. Just takes up CPU cycles and memory for no reason, seems to me....

   I only installed this for the majic jack gui. It pops up whenever you make a call and at boot and when you get a call. In other words it won't go away. Now it does, as it resides open on a separate desktop at all times. I opted for three so that I actually have 2 available desks. Add the icons for the Transparent Numbers (3x3 dig is cool) and use a 3x1 tray. F6 for 'move to next'. It uses like 5MB with no plugins and virtually zero config.
   MS's is nice but their tray icon is a lame box type.
   There are also a few progs that when open are fs with no escape except to exit.

   I just don't get multiple desktops, never have and I guess never will. I even shut off multiple desktops when I do fresh installs of Ubuntu. I can have 30 apps all minimized and I can get to them just fine without switching to another 'desktop'
   
   Will someone Please explain to me why additional desktops are useful?

   Nice. One of the best virtual desktop managers around. But I'd never use it. Interface is kind aclunky and akward.
   
   I prefer Microsoft Desktops: http://technet.microsoft...internals/cc817881.aspx
