A feature I miss alot from Gnome virtual desktops is the option ot have all tasks in the taskbar, no matter what desktop you are on.
Example:
- I am in desktop 1 and have taskbar icons for all windows, regardless which desktop they are on.
Say I click on Firefox, whick is always in desktop 3, Dexpot switches to desktop 3 and focuses on Firefox.
Now I am in D3, in the taskbar, I click on Putty which is in D1, Dexpot switches to D1 and focuses on Putty.
The advantage of something like this is that you can more or less use your desktop like if there weren't virtual desktops. My wife for example is always messing my desktops around and trying to find applications. this avoids that problem entirely, especially using your very smart rules, which I now very much miss on Gnome
The same can be applied to the alt-tab switching although Dextab does that.
Thanks in advance for your attention.
Best,
Philippe.
