Re: Different ROX panel for each workspace

[John M. <Jo...@Ku...>]

Due to pressing the wrong button while changing over from Sylpheed to 
Balsa I managed to lose all my emails!  Please do not add to the 
comments I have already made to myself!

	Charles Marcus asked for advice on how I run Rox and Icewm and 
the delay in replying is due to the above paragraph!  Basically I use 
Icewm as the window manager from login and have a number of Rox panels 
configured according to the Rox manual.  A Master panel that comes up 
on the left of the screen is called up from the taskbar and this 
contains links to other panels, mostly on the right of the screen, 
providing links to programs used in the various workspaces, help files, 
home directory and so on.  A blank panel enables me to turn any of them 
off.

	I used Rox-Session for a while as well, but as I rarely log in 
or out (I just suspend my laptop) it did not seem necessary, so I work 
directly from icewm.  I do not use the Rox pinboard but clearly this 
could be set up in the same way.  If you log in and out regularly then 
you will probably find Rox-Session worthwhile as it enables you to 
easily set up what programs, panels, pinboards etc to automatically run 
on logging in, as well as various other parameters.

	If you want any more info just shout, but this in conjunction 
with the Rox manual should hopefully get you on the way, after which 
you can explore yourself.  Rox is very fast, simple and flexible and 
works well with icewm if you do not need to be led by the hand too 
much.  (Being a Linux user you probably don't)

PS  Anyone any answers to my original query?
