<P>
This is a screenshot from my HP-UX box running the CDE window manager. Shows Netscape, xv, EveryBuddy (IM client), an hpterm, and the workspace manager/taskbar at the bottom.

One of the nice things about most Window Managers is that you can have more than one "workspace". (seen in the capture labeled one/two/three/four on the bottom bar). I typically have all my xterms open in one, Netscape open in another, email open in a third, etc. This allows my "desktop" to be 4 or more times the size of my physical screen. I can easily shuffle apps between desktops, or "stick" an app so that it appears on all of them.

Dummie question on ping (loopback)

what's the point of having loopback when you can just ping your local ip address? for example if my ip is 1.1.1.1, why can't i just do ping 5 1.1.1.1 instead of ping 5 127.0.1.1? it seems to me the only point in having it is for the sake of convenience? (2 Replies)

       with a dialog showing a preview of the snapshot and the choice to save the image.

       --border-effect=effect  Effect to add to the border.

       --delay=int	       Pause for int seconds before capturing the window or screen

       --interactive	       Interactively set options.
