When this is done, go to the third virtual desktop by clicking on
the number 3 button. Then, launch the Konqueror file
manager by clicking on the . Notice that the screen
seems to empty itself when you switch virtual desktop.
The virtual desktop's button bar takes the aspect shown above:
each button is a tiny representation of each desktop's contents. Click

Press on Ctrl+F1: you will go back to the first desktop, where
the internal help window is waiting for you.
In the internal help, choose any
rubric. Then, click on the
thumbnail on
the right of the title bar: it becomes

change aspect.
Now go to the second virtual desktop: you will find exactly the same window. Change the displayed help section, then switch to the fourth desktop, for example. The displayed section is the one you just selected. It is one and only one window, not many help windows.
Click again on the thumbnail to unstick the window.
However, it often happens that a window is in the way, this may be cumbersome. Naturally you can reduce its size, but here is another possiblity. Click on the right button of the help window's title bar and choose To Desktop->Desktop 1.
The window disappears! But you did not close it. If you look at the buttons on the virtual desktop, you will se that its silhouette is now in the first desktop. Go in that desktop and without a doubt, you will find it. You transferred it.
According to your activities, you can estimate how many default virtual desktops you need. Right-click on the virtual desktop and choose Preferences in the contextual menu.
On the upper-right part of the window is a slider which allows you to define the number of virtual desktops. In the example, six have been set, but you can set up to 16 desktops (however, this does consume a lot of memory).
Moreover, you can attribute a name to each desktop: here, the first four have been given names to describe their roles. This possibility enables you to organize your work easily and clearly. To see the names of your desktops in the buttons, you must first validate the preceding window. Then, right-click on the desktop's buttons and choose Name. You will then see the names appear in the buttons. However this disables the desktops contents.
