In KDE one good way of organizing your workstation is configuring 2,3,4,etc... virtual desktops. Then name each desktop after a name that describes the work done in it. So you could have an admin virtual desktop (with all xterms as root), a development desktop (with terms as bryan), an internet desktop (kmail, mozilla,etc...), and so forth. Once you get used to it you will find it very handy. <ctrl><TAB> switches between them. -- -Achilleus
