I run 10.10 ubuntu and I would like to have one desktop that displays 4 active desktops so I can view the 4 at the same time

ie watch film in top left
read emails in bottom right
etc...

I hope you understand, I don't want to switch screens...

Thanks

Gibby

Have a look at the Compiz Maximumize plugin. It's not what you described, but it might be the easiest solution.
