| As a desktop, GNOME is standard enough that most computer users can feel
| comfortable within ten minutes of first using it. Yet what always puzzles me
| is how often people fail to explore it beyond the basics. Possibly, they're
| conditioned by Windows, which allows relatively limited customization. But,
| whatever the reason, too often they stoically endure what they could fix if
| only they could find their way around.

howto enhance your workflow with beryl
,----[ Quote ]
| Problem is, I spread my applications across all 4 desktops, so
| that things feel uncluttered when I'm working on an application.
| However, when you want to keep an eye on several applications at
| a time, it's impossible - except, if you have beryl. What I do
| is set one of the corners of my desktop to activate the scale
| plugin to show all windows from all desktops (see here for a
| more detailed explanation). I also make sure that it shows
| minimised windows.
