Using a virtual desktop manager is a way to organize applications over several "virtual" desktops.

For example if you use two virtual desktops you are able to put a web browser on desk 1 and by using a desktop manager "switch away" the webbrowser and it will seem like you have a new empty workspace (desk 2) to put another application/applicat Virtual desktops are very common in the Unix community and once getting used to this, it is very hard to manage without it.

Here are some key features of "VirtuaWin":

· Configurable key/mouse control
· Small, fast and easy to use, "just the needed stuff"
· Supports user defined icons
· Can keep an active window on every desktop
· Can set windows sticky to make them appear on all desktops
· Configurable layout of virtual desktops, up to 9 desktops
· Supports modules for additional features
· Can save applications desktop belongings and restore them upon restart
