The bar at the top of the screen holds the name of the application until you R-click. At which point the menu's appeared. In 3.1 (latest I tried) there was this neat little icon in the complete upper right corner which switched through the screens (virtual desktops..) And R-clicking that brought up a list of screens. It was beatiful how a new virtual desktop was created when a new application was started. Ahh, the long ago times ;-) -- Thomas Zander zander@earthling.net Here it was, a new hour, new day.
