~/Desktop1 directory

[Toby Newman]

Anybody know why I've got a ~/Desktop1 directory (Kubuntu)?
I'm sure it appeared of it's own accord, and has not been there since
the beginning.

Accidental drag and drop maybe?

You haven't run a dual-head setup without Xinerama at some point have you?
IOW, two discrete X displays (probably :0.0 and :0.1) - the second of these
has a separate desktop so KDE creates it as Desktop1.

HTH,

James

Yeah, good suggestion. Hadn't thought of that.

Can I answer 'Don't know'? :)
I've done a lot of fiddling around using dual head (TV-Out) but never
really grasped the underlying concepts.
I've renamed the folder to ~/wasDesktop1 so we'll see how I get on
without it!

Sounds like you might know a bit about this James.
I've been setting up a PVR box (Ubuntu 5.01, Mythtv.)
I'm 2 weeks noob on Linux and it's been fun learning a new way to do things.
Finally got the latest nvidia drivers installed for the 7300GS and
jacked around the xorg.conf to get 2 displays going but the TV has an
different desktop on it... Didn't notice a ~/Desktop1 but it's probably
there.
Playing with ServerLayout Options to Clone the display but so far, no
luck. Googling shows mostly dual configs with monitors 'Left of' or
'Right of'... not what I'm looking for.
Any suggestions on Options to Clone display?
tia,
Clay

btw, I'm not using Twinview to get the dual set up.
