Desktop question
I'm just wondering if a guy can have certain icons appear on a specific virtual desktop. Example, I have am using 5 vitual desktops, and one is named Office. Can I have OOo and KOffice icons appear on that desktop only? I'm using Mandrake9.1 and KDE 3.1.2 (3.1.2 on Mandrake9.1 rocks, except for the fact that it broke my number pad. Oh well, can't have everything).

I know that each user has a .desktop directory in /home/username that has a list of everything on that desktop.Maybe there's a way to create seperate .desktop directories for each virtual desktop.I dont know...just a thought.All I know how to do is change the background.
