Well under Fedora and KDE I have 18 desktops running. I can then use the Konsole program (an X terminal program for KDE) to open 3 or more tabs, each with a different version of mc running. Double clicking on the Konsole tab allows me to rename that tab to something helpfull so I don't get lost.
For me, the natural choice if you want to be with the hands over your keyboard is gnu screen. You can open as many screen windows as you want, and copy/paste things between them. There are many ways to copy the selection buffer to whichever X buffer you need (for example, binding the thing to xclip or xsel) You can define a hardstatus line to see where you are, as well. There's a lot more about screen that can't be sumed up on a simple mail. For more info, subscribe to the relevant mailing list and ask there: http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/ Cheers. -- Jesús Guerrero <i92guboj terra es>
