Guest CloakedPenguin Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 , like sending gkrellm to all desktops... I have yet to have this problem. I can send it to all the desktops. KDE just freezes on me non-stop. To each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Do you use metacity? Did you read what other settings I require (yes, it's my machine, I'm entitled to require certain things that I know are possible.. :) ), namely: "focus follows mouse; click: makes active and passes click -- doesn't raise window"? I just can't set this up in gnome with metacity, and all people do is tell me to use sawfish, which I have, but which then doesn't allow me to put window-frameless progs like gkrellm and xmms on all or other desktops since you have to rightclick the border/frame to get the menu to do so... and rightclicking on the taskbar entry doesn't give me that menu. So yes, I can send stuff to other desktops with the normal wm (metacity) which doesn't allow me to have the window behaviour I like. So bottomline, I have to fiddle and still don't get gnome to do what I want, and kde does it right away (5clicks).... and I really used to use gnome all the time... loved it, until they took away my preferred setting... So if anyone gets the behaviour out of gnome that I describe, without too much fuzz, post it here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CloakedPenguin Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 I've never used MetaCity before. In fact it's not installed. I just simply use the gnome control panel to configure, and us the right mouse button for other features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 So how do you send progs to other desktops?? Let's pretend I'm stupid and don't know left from right... (How do you get gnome2.2 on 9.0rc1 without having metacity??? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CloakedPenguin Posted February 26, 2003 Report Share Posted February 26, 2003 I haven't got a clue. You need to ask someone that understands this better than I. I only know that I search for metacity in the RPMDRAKE and it comes up as an installable feature. If I search for say "FrozenBubble" it doesn't come up because that is installed. You've got me on this one. I'm not that techie. I'm more of an operator than a programer (I tried learning programming and gave up!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
