Sorry if this is a repeat, not sure exactly how to word what I want to search for, so I may have missed it.
What I am looking for is a way to set up desktop "profiles", for lack of a better term, for different tasks I do. For instance, I use TeX frequently, which involves a shell, text editor, pdf viewer, etc... Is there a setting, or more likely, a third-party package, that would allow me to set up desktops with applications I need to do my stuff that automatically start up for me? I admit, I'm a bit OCD on these things, and would rather not leave all the apps open, nor want to waste resources.
So, is there an application that would allow me to go through a list of tasks I do, and when I select one, it opens up another desktop with all the apps I need for the task? Barring that, I could open up another desktop on my own, but would still want something to open all necessary apps in one go, save me the time of hunting them all down.
Using Jaunty BTW.
Thanks
Michael
