You're welcome -- since I started using Xwindows and Windowmaker, I can't imagine going back to Windows with a single desktop, and I'm really quite surprised that no one's done anything to address that on Windows.
At work I'm set up with 10 desktops on a dual-headed system:
- E-Mail (mutt), IM (Gaim)
- Monitoring 1 (browser on Nagios, xterm on qstat (for the Sun Grid Engine), xload on the various servers I need to watch)
- Monitoring 2 (tabbed browser on the Production systems)
- Development (browser, various xterm ssh sessions, Razor bug tracking)
- Sometimes Development, sometimes Support
- Spare
- Spare
- Sometimes additional browsing
- Personal (browser on GMail, Slash, Groklaw, PerlMonks)
No way would I be able to fit all that on any Windows desktop.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
