Here are some miscellaneous questions: How do I create different sized xterms and/or gnome terms of different sizes in different workspaces? Is it possible to have an xload app of a given size (or other GUI apps) and have them appear on various workspaces, or *all* workspaces? Finally, how can I set up the Fn keys to perform certain tasks, for example, have F2 minimize a window/xterm/app, and have F3 put the same application in front? Both Gnome and KDE are nice front ends, but a bit heavy on the graphical interface side for a CLI hacker like me.
