You can additionally set up different layouts i am always open for making my workplace more productive and easier to use. so i will have a try of E17 and ion3, while second looks like more designed to my needs. i tried ratpoison but i was unable to do single-key switching to other desktops and manage well subwindows in some apps like gimp, which always needs multiple windows on one desktop. PS. Because i don't get definition of desktop i used there and in other posts: desktop is one complete full screen workspace. be it text or graphics doesn't matter. PS2. still waiting for precise desktop definition, because i think that this term is regularly misused.
