Hello everyone,

I'll explain my subject in more detail. I'd like my linux workspaces to behave like those in QNX 6.x, where I can drag a window partially off-screen, having a portion of it visible on each workspace. Is there a workspace management tool available that has this capability? This may seem like an odd request, but there are a few apps out there that would be a little easier to use if I had this capability (Qt is one).

Thanks,

Checkout xinerama, there probably is a config to enable this.

Thanks, I'll have a look at it...

Xinerama is for multiple displays, i.e. more than one monitor, not for workspaces.

Workspaces are typically handled by the window manager. Some window managers support this, some don't. For instance, I used to use AfterStep and Sawfish, both of which supported workspaces with multiple pages. In other words, you could have four virtual desktops, each subdivided into four viewports and windows one workspace could overlap several viewports. Basically, each workspace could be spread over more than one screen.

As far as I know, the default GNOME and KDE window managers only allow one screen to a workspace. You might want to look into either using a different window manager under GNOME/KDE or switching to another desktop setup.
