multiple screen and multiple desktops
I was wondering how hard it will be to make the second screen (tv monitor, projector) to display everything from for example on second (or other selected) workspace / virtual desktop

I have 4 workspaces / virtual desktops and when I connect my tv to laptop my all desktops increase size for that what is shown on tv. Instead of extending the size, I'd rather it show another workspace / virtual desktop.

what do you think about it?

What do you mean by "pulpit"?


Man is the lowest-cost, 150-pound, nonlinear, all-purpose computer system which can be mass-produced by unskilled labor.

I am sorry, I don't quite understand your idea. Are you saying that if you connect a monitor with a higher resolution, all the previous screen's desktops will also grow bigger?

I mean that it will be greater to have output of (for instance) desktop 2 on the second display (tv projector),
instead of resizeing the current screen for the tv area.

Do you mean having your extra screens show your extra _workspaces_ (ie. the thing the pager shows) rather than extend space of your current workspace?

OK - I changed your idea to mention "workspaces / virtual desktops". The terminology is a little bit confusing. KDE seems to use workspace as singular and virtual desktops as plural. Odd.

I did it, you should have an edit button that allows editing of the idea and title

What you actually want is per screen independent virtual desktop handling, ie. changing the VD on screen one does not affect the VD on screen 2 - correct?
