I use the virtual desktops. They are really handy. Frequently, I leave something that takes some time to load/render/process running in a virtual desktop and then I switch to another to do other work. And to see whether the first task has finished or not, I usually hit SUPER+S just to have an eagle's view on the state of the processing [on the other desktops]. However, doing this I have to stop whatever I'm doing.
That's why I was wondering if is there any way that would give me such view [on just one other desktop, doesn't need to be able to see all the others] without having to [interrupt what I'm doing at the moment and] hit the SUPER+S? You know, a quick glance of eyes would do the trick; switching desktops (even using the handy shortcut CTRL+ALT+directional arrow makes my mind 'shift context' and thus loosing the focus)...
(I know that having two monitors would do the trick, but I don't have a fixed desk, hence have to rely only on the notebook I carry to everywhere... (sigh!))
