Summary: Possible to have windows span desktops?
(very wide
xterms/konsole, etc)
Product: kwin
Version: 3.0
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kwin kde org
ReportedBy: hlein progressive-comp com
Version: 3.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from: Compiled From Sources
OS: Linux
Perhaps this is possible and I just can't find it: can I
have windows span pager'ed desktops?
I typically have several very wide (400+ characters)
terminal windows open with tail -f's of Apache logs,
syslogs, etc. With a 1600x1200 display and 7x13 font size,
that means the windows are about two full screen-widths
wide. With fvwm for instance this is no problem, because
the desktops are all one virtual contiguous space, and
windows can easily span multiple desktops; you page to the
one you want. In kwin it seems that the desktops are all
discrete, and can't share; if you slide a window partway off
the right side of a desktop, that part isn't visible in any
other desktop.
I really miss this feature in kwin; am I just not finding
it? Fvwm also allows fine-grained sliding of your viewer
window; you can shift in any direction by just a hundred
pixels or so at a time--this would be nice too but not as
important.
I've seen people ask similar questions in the past on
mailing lists, etc; the responses given were about
Desktop->Window Behavior->Advanced->Active Desktop
Borders (which doesn't do what I'm talking about AFAICS), or
setting up a larger Virtual screen in the X server config,
which is just an awful approach.
