The workspace is joined, so I very much doubt an option for this exists
(unlss you hack the source code). However, what is it you are trying to
achieve? Reveal only icons on the left where they reside? It sounds as
though virtual desktops could achieve the same thing. Have a vacant virtual
desktop and rather than hit CTRL+ALT+D, hit e.g. CTRL+F8 to reach a vacant
desktop. Return to your busy workspace using, e.g. CTRL+F1.

I don't know if that helps at all...

what i want to achieve is have one monitor as my everything monitor,
open windows, minimise all windows on etc, the second monitor i have a
monitoring system on it, it stays there doesnt move, dont use the
monitor for anything else, its just a little annoyance that i can put
up with if i have to but i would rather my monitoring system wasnt
minimised as well when i hit the show desktop button.

May I ask if you monitor your computer system, e.g. network and resources, as
opposed to some system that's running at work and you supervisor? There are
system monitors that are dockable. KSysGuard is one such monitor that I
always keep in sight (one for current loads and one for historical plot). I
notice that setting windows to "always on top" doesn't help either.
CTRL+ALT+D will minimise them. See if advanced/custom windows options
(Exists in recent versions of KDE) has an option somewhere. The
choices/possibilities there are infinite.

Best wishes,

Roy

Hi there,

I have a web browser open that runs nagios, a network monitoring
system.

I am running kde 3.5.4-0.1.fc5 couldnt see any advanced winow options
in control center, where abouts would they be?

thanks for helping

Flamer.
