https://bbs.archlinux.org – Unfortunately, I am using Oxygen window decorations already.I do have the "Attach as tab to" option but it is a pain to have to group every window manually. I've discovered that auto-grouping does work for windows opened on the same virtual desktop but if I open a new okular window from konsole, say, I get a new window on that desktop rather than having it end up attached as a new tab to an existing window on another desktop. I can work around it by having all okular windows start on a standard desktop but this is a pain as I didn't want okular to behave this way.Thanks for (HowTos)

Stories similar to kde update 4.9 & problems with auto-grouping windows

I'm using the i3 Window Manager, and am quite happy so far, but I have a few issues.

Using XFCE, my "Desktop" is seen as a separate container (window). That means that when I open a new program in the first workspace, that it will split the screen in two and show Desktop as one window, and the other program in another window.

PekWM offers an additional solution: window grouping. It allows a variety of different applications to be grouped together in a single window. Most everyone is familiar with tabbed browsing by now. Window grouping takes this one step further.

I am running 11.10 and i need to have a vnc window for the connection to my windows 7 box (booo hiss etc) , i have two screens attached to my pc.

i would like to have a fullscreen dual window VNC window on one of the two workspaces of my ubuntu desktop , currently i can get close to this by manually resizing the vnc window as big as i can on the second workspace when it opens .

While the desktop is beautiful, why hasn't the openSUSE team created a new theme/look for windows and window title bars to match? It would look even better if all windows looked like the widget window that's on the desktop. It's be more consistent and much more modern than cleanlooks, oxygen or any of the other window styles available - all these look like they're from 10 years ago.

I have recently had my xfce desktop stop clearing windows when the window is closed. The window's image remains on the desktop, as if it were still open. If I drag the window to a different location, the ghosting from the move remains on the screen. The 'Application Menu' has also stopped working.

The basic idea is like tiling window manager with a fixed identical grid system.

I don't want windows piled up in a same desktop(workspace).

We can have a huge virtual desktop like setting up 4x4(=16) workspaces, and place a new window in each workspace every time when the window launchs. Using Unity-Expo, it behaves like zoomed tiled windows/desktop.

If there is a vacant workspace, newly launc

In Ubuntu, is it possible to attach one window to another window (so that one window becomes the "parent window" of the other window)? I'd like to know if it's possible to do this for any two open windows (for example, a Firefox browser window and a gedit window).

Hi Guys! I installed chakra 12.02 few weeks ago. I was absolutely stunned when I found no PDF reader preinstalled.

Just installed Lubuntu last night on my netbook. Everything is running fine and working well, except the ALT+F2 run window will always pop up underneath the currently opened window (but above all other open windows).
