amaroK-svn 1.4
I'm a programmer, so for me screen space is king. I run KDE on gentoo linux with a dual screen and 6 virtual desktops. I tend to run windows maximised, and each desktop has a basic function. The important things for me are keeping up to date with information and communication.
Desktop 1: I use Kontact (KDE PIM) to keep track of email/mailing lists, aggregate my rss feeds, hold all my contacts, and maintain a todo list.
Desktop 2: Two Konsole terminals with numerous tabs live here for compiling and other maintenance. Sometimes I run a second instance of Kdevelop here if I'm working on two projects concurrently.
Desktop 3: I do most of my programming here, the main Kdevelop window occupies the left screen, and the Assistant lives on the right screen to display documentation and API's.
Desktop 4: Xchat lives here for all my ircing needs.
Desktop 5: All browser windows get sent here, I have a session saving instance of Firefox permanently open for pages that I need, quick browsing tends to get done in a number of Konqueror windows/tabs I open on demand.
Desktop 6: amaroK lives here for all my music needs. A more perfect tricked out music player can't be found. Global shortcuts rock.
Miscellaneous: Kopete is my instant messaging client, Kget my download manager. BasKet (basket.kde.org) is a handy little tool that I use as a second todo list, and to hold any snippets of information that I might need.
I can access any desktop directly via the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F# where # is the desktop I want, or I can move left or right through desktops with Ctrl+Alt+Left/Right.
