I'm probably just not Googling well, but is it possible, with the
"cube", to have different icons on the different desktops? That is, could you have a desktop with icons for web design displayed, and another for writing, and another for whatever? Also, how to get the cube going under KDE? I hafta go to Gnome to play with it. stew -- kubuntu-users mailing list kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |

All my desktop will do is this irritating flip, despite having it set to do the cube. But in GNOME it works fine.

I, too, would like to have that so if you figure it out, let us know. As for the cube, go into the CompizConfig Settings Manager (should be under "Settings" in the K-menu) and make sure Desktop cube and Rotate Cube are both enabled. The cube is based upon how many desktops you are currently running: i.e. I have two virtual desktops, so I have a rotating piece of paper (2 sides). Give that a shot and see if you can figure it out.

Maybe a feature request at kde.org ??

Well, both are checked and I have 4 desktops, but CTL-ALT arrow does nothing... stew -- kubuntu-users mailing list kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |

That gave me a black screen, followed by the login. Login was not possible, however, into kde or gnome, and I actually had to reboot the machine from a virtual terminal. Wow! Not good...works fine in Ubuntu stew -- kubuntu-users mailing list kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |

Not good...works fine in Ubuntu Stew did you install emerald?

Well, I have clearly farkled kde up to a fair-thee-well. Following David's suggestion, I did, in fact, get the cube going in kde, but I have no title bar on any window. Alt-F2 brings up a half-hearted dialog into which I cannot type. Removing .kde and logging out/in did not restore the window title bars. Whatever have I done?? stew -- kubuntu-users mailing list kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users |
