How can I set up different applications for different virtual desktops?
I succeeded to set up different background for each, but whenever I try to add an application to desktop #3, it keeps popping up on desktop #1.
Tried to lock/unlock widgets, it doesn’t make a difference.
What step I am missing in the process? because obviously there is something …
PS: Happy Holidays to all!
When you are adding applications to the “Desktop”, it is going into the ~/Desktop folder. If you have specified “Folder View” in the “Desktop Settings” for both the desktops, then you get the same content. Try changing one to something else.
Thanks, problem is solved now.
I went to look into Folder view, as you said. My problem was, that when added the folder view to desktop #1, I insisted to choose in the Location section “Show Desktop Folder”, instead using “Home”.
I gather you guys have been talking about icons appearing on specific desktops. Is it possible to force an app to actually open on a specific desktop, wherever it is launched from?
Yes, by setting up Activities rather than thinking about windows. Select the Activity Bar widget and associate activities with it.
You might have misunderstood my question, apologies for not putting this more clearly:
I do have Activities, one for each desktop. But how do I force, say, OpenOffice (or Firefox or whatever) to launch from Activity/Desktop 3, even if clicked on from Activity/Desktop 1? It’s probably impossible, or so obvious that I’m unlikely to find it 
I’m not using KDE so I don’t know does it have such possibility, but if not, you can use Devil’s Pie to do this.
Ah, Devil’s Pie - I remember that from my Gnome days, thought it only worked with Metacity/Gnome. Thanks for the tip, a quick google suggests that it might play with KDE4.
