Greetings!
As usual I HAVE searched......
I switched to Gnome after KDE latest ver trashed my display - only fix was to switch to Gnome. (I prefer K as an XP escapee).:(
Nothing I do allows me to setup individual alternate display screens for my 4 projects.
Is this not available in Gnome????
Even XP does this!

Cheers!

Right-click on the desktop switcher in the lower panel on the right, and set the number of desktops you want.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for reply. Unfortunately, the actual problem is that there seems no way to usefully set them up. Also manual is non-existent.
I want to devote each screen to a different purpose, with different b/grounds and d/top displays.
I have had this before but since upgrading the latest version of my preferred front-end - K -simply trashes.

Cheers!
