I do nearly everything on the left screen ( PC Monitor ) except for watching movies ... I drag them over to the Plasma

It's funny when someone asks for a file because i cannot find anything on this computer ..... I've got Folders on my desktop named Junk , Various Junk , Junk files .... and you don't want to see My Documents folder ( that is far worse than my desktop )

I do have a external harddrive and i do keep that in good order most of the time because it is where all of my P2P files go

So that raises a further question: What do you use your left monitor (Plasma screen) for? Right now, It would be better suited as a TV than hooked up as a second monitor... IMO

The 42" plasma does all of those jobs aswell ..... it has a VGA in , DVI in , Component , Composite etc etc
So my Satallite , Xbox360 , PSP TV out , Analogue Cable , Amp , Dreamcast , Xbox , 2 x DVD Players are all hooked up to it aswell ( This is in my bedroom )
It is mostly used for my Satallite set up

So if i want to watch a movie from my HDD i just select the PC input ..... If my wife wants to watch Grey's Anatomy she will change it ...lol
We have a 52" in the livingroom that she can watch all of her TV shows on

yeh, I tried fluxbox, and I didn't like it much. I didn't really like KDE or Xfce either.
