Screenshots and Virtual Desktops
CWO4 Dave Mann buttuming you mean that you need to write files depending on the distribution of Linux you are running, someone has already provided a link to a list of files you can examine...
Thank you, Chris. I guess I never thought about the aspiration of this desktop environment to be efficient (KDE is greedy) and thus re-draw ele- ments on the screen rather than set them aside. Having said that, when switching from one desktop to another, the applications sometimes appear immediately, as does the wallpaper image. It's almost as if not only are the invisible windows kept in RAM, but they also reside in some form of an extended frame buffer which can then 'channelled' to the monitor; no pause necessary.
I guess I should give up on this escapade. I have seen (and wrote about) Metisse a few times before and I am also aware of the revolving 3-D cube of virtual desktops. These cannot solve the problem I am trying to tackle (remote supervision) and, while they are astounding eye candies, they aren't available for KDE or GNOME (the former at least), so I am reluctant to explore these further. Your last suggestions are interesting nonethe- less and I will see if they lead me somewhere.
Many thanks again,
Roy
