Destop arrangement
All,
Need to know how to auto arrange my desktop so that when it opens, on bootup, I get the following:
Please point me to any resources you know. Haven't found any myself. Probably not the right search terms, so need your help! Cheers! TBNK |
What desktop environment are you using?
In the meantime, this link may help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/61397...e-and-position |
sounds like you want a tiled layout.
the obvious choice would be a tiling windowmanager |

My understanding of tiled layout would work for #1-4, but not for #5. Correct me if I'm wrong! Cheers! TBNK |

The easiest solution would be to use the native kde tools to save your session and restore it on login. In kubuntu 14.04, in the kde menu go to Settings > System Settings which will bring up the System Settings application. In there, go to Startup and Shutdown > Session Management. Under "On Login" you can choose "Restore previous session". Then the next time you login, the applications and windows will be the same as when you logged out last time. Another option is "Restore manually saved session". Choose this option, hit "Apply" and then set the windows/applications up the way you want to see them when you login. To manually save that session layout, go to the Start menu > Leave. There will now be a new option, "Save Session" along with Logout, Lock, Switch user. Choose Save Session. The next time you login, the session you saved will be restored.
Using the "Save Session" method will probably work best for you. Then every time you login, you will login to the last saved arrangement you specified no matter what the state was when you last logged out |
