Each desktop is +represented by a region surrounded with +a dashed line. + +The background of the VDM represents the logical +desktops which you currently have; you can +increase or reduce this number simply by +resizing the VDM. If you make the VDM smaller, +the rightmost and bottommost desktops will +"go away" and you will not be able to access +any windows in that desktop. The windows +themselves are still active, though, and will +appear if you again make the VDM larger. + +The desktop boundaries are not physical +boundaries; a window can straddle a boundary +and you can view portions of more that one +desktop at a time (whatever amount that will +fit on your screen). Usually, though, you +will see a logical boundary between desktops. + +To move to another desktop, you can use the arrow +keys or you can double-click the SELECT button +inside the VDM at the location you want to go to. +Pressing MENU in the VDM brings up a menu which +also allows you to move to a different desktop. + +The small windows in the desktop represent each +frame as it appears on your screen. In terms of +window manager actions, they mimic the frame they +represent: you can select and move them with +the SELECT button, you can bring up their +window menu with the MENU button, you can drop +items from other tools into them, etc. All +actions performed on one of these little +windows affects the frame the window represents.
