BLOKE048  Unfortunately for me this does not go far enough. Spaces and the other virtual desktop options (apart from you control desktops), and even the limited enhancement of different backgrounds provided by hyperspaces falls well short of the stock standard work spaces found in linux. "You control desktops" appears to be the only Mac alternative that emulates that provided in linux. I see little point in just changing the just the background. When I move from work space to work space I want a clean desktop or a desktop with documents and files etc relating to the workspace I am in (not just the application). If hyperspaces was able to provide this in the future it would be a godsend. I am sure I am not the only MAC person who dabbles in other OSes, but I am beginning to wonder if others know just how limited Spaces is. If anybody knows of any other utilities out there (other than "You control desktops") that provide a true multiple work space experience, linux style on the MAC please let me know.
