Description Franziska Tenzer 2009-03-14 17:08:43 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

It would be cool to switch an application window to more than one but not all virtual desktops.

There are checkboxes for switching the window to a different or all desktops, so it would be cool if I could select more than one but not all desktops on which I want to have the application window.

THX a lot.

I can't see how we could add such a feature (although it might be useful) without violating current standard: http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html#id2507080

Quoting the important part:
"_NET_WM_DESKTOP desktop, CARDINAL/32

Cardinal to determine the desktop the window is in (or wants to be) starting with 0 for the first desktop. A Client MAY choose not to set this property, in which case the Window Manager SHOULD place it as it wishes. 0xFFFFFFFF indicates that the window SHOULD appear on all desktops."

This implies that a window is either on one desktop or on all. So implementing such a feature could be tricky.
