I know that I am probably a fringe case, but I would love to be able to NOT have cairo on select desktops. I use openbox as my window manager, and cairo as my launcher. I use the last desktop as a "special purpose" desktop and I don't want cairo to interfere. Also, if it could be done, this would allow a different cairo on each desktop as a bonus. (...But "default" to all desktops )
A different cairo on each desktop would probably need a command line argument... like:
"cairo-dock --desktop=2" only on desktop 2
"cairo-dock --desktop=1-3" on desktops 1 through 3
"cairo-dock --desktop=N4" NOT on desktop 4, but all others
To have a look at what it might simulate (done with KDE4), go here: http://www.pclinuxos.com/?page_id=1413
I think this would be awesome! I would be happy to help test that feature! |

Hello,
Currently you can use this option: -s, --no-sticky
Don't make the dock appear on all desktops. Is it what you want?
But you can't do that: "cairo-dock --desktop=1-3" on desktops 1 through 3
"cairo-dock --desktop=N4" NOT on desktop 4, but all others
I think the 'sticky' option is an option of X11 but maybe your window manager can help you to do that.
But you can also have a different dock on each desktop by using this command: cairo-dock -s -d $HOME/.config/cairo-dock2 (except that I think you can launch this command at startup... => I think all your docks will be on the same desktop... but your WM can help I guess ) |

Aha! That is close... I was looking for a way to automate it specifically through a cairo startup script. I have no idea how to script/setup through the wm yet... |

placing the windows on different desktops is the job of the Window Manager.
with Compiz you have quite a good control on that, I don't know for OpenBox though. |
