I think this is probably possible with Xming, but I'm a little ignorant on the terminological end, so while I know what I want, I'm not 100% sure how to ask about it.
I've used and am mostly happy with Xming in its multiple-window configuration. I'm frustrated, however, by the single
virtual workspace, denoted by the single "workspace" bar at the bottom of the desktop window adjacent to the "Start"
menu.
I would like multiple workspaces (like CDE - the common desktop environment) so that I can logically put aside one
workspace to deal with (say) a high priority issue and then, after it has been dealt with, revert back to my prior
workspace. I *think* Hummingbird's Exceed had this capability (my memory is a little rusty), and I know it had the
ability to "toggle desktops" (between the Exceed desktop and the Windows desktop).
I think -- if I understand your posting correctly -- that you have succeeded in doing something like what I want to do.
Can you offer any advice on getting there ?
