Re: RTFM (was: CPYF behavior)

Well, the virtual desktops in windows are a little different...
Your display can have many windows open on the screen,
then you can switch to another virtual display and open up
more windows.  So you could have 3 windows open on
one, 4 on the other, more on even more virtual displays.

Then you can switch between them.

It would be like minimizing your whole desktop in windows
and having another one pop up.
