Linux work spaces [message #58956]

Hi,

if I have opened a class with the VE in my eclipse 3.0 I can not change
to another work space on my Suse KDE.

What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

What are the symptoms? Is there a .log file with errors? What do you
mean you can't change to another workspace? If you close the workspace
you can't open another one?

I do not find a .log in my eclipse folder or in workspace folder.

But I think I have not explained it right. I do not mean the eclipse
workspaces! I mean the workspaces of my KDE. Some applications are on
workspace 1 some on workspace 2. If I open a class in VE I get a Form in
my Taskbar too. This form I can not close. If I try to change to another
KDE workspace I can see it for a short moment with this "dummy" Form,
and than I will be thrown back to the workspace where eclipse is opened.

Regards
Matthias

I don't know anything about KDE, but if you are talking about seeing a
shell in the screen's taskbar (?), that happens. We create a live
instance of the shell being edited so that we can screen-scrape it to
put the picture into the VE. Unfortunately this live shell often shows
up in the taskbar. We also put it way off screen, but some screen
managers don't allow that and they force it back onto the screen. But I
don't see how that should stop KDE from switching, after all it is no
different than any other shell.

Yes I see the shell in my taskbar.

Hm, maybe there are some other guys here who use KDE and can confirm
this problem or maybe have a solution for it.

Thanks.

I'm using KDE3.2 on Suse Linux 9.1.
Switching visual-workspaces works fine with me.
Perhaps your hardware-configuration is too slow to manage it correctly or
your Eclipse/VE has a problem. Don't close the windows created by the VE.
Perhaps a restart of the Eclipse with ./eclipse -clean helps.

No, it doesn't work fine! The problem of not being able to switch the
view-workspace (of KDE) occurs only when using SWT-GUIs with VE.
Did you find out a fix for this problem, Matthias?

This behaviour is a big problem, I would say.
