first (desktop 0) desktop being glued in-place. You can re-shuffle the stack
of papers and slide one down to reveal a piece of paper underneath - the only
paper you can't slide is the first one. Each desktop (or sheet) contains your
application windows. Windows normally live on one desktop, but can be made
application windows.

Windows normally live on one desktop, but can be made
to exit on all desktops - whenever you change to a new desktop the window
will follow you and be on that desktop too. This is known as being sticky.

Enlightenment also allows you to set a different desktop backdrop per desktop
to help you customise your environemnt and differentiate which desktop is
which.
<p>
An easy way of having Enlightenment auotmaitcally pick up any pictures you have
is to make a directory in your ~/.enlightenment directory called
backgrounds and then fill that with your favorite backgrops. Enlightenment
will automatically discover this and index them for you allowing you to
select them and chnage their settings. More on this topic is explained in the
_Settings(settings) section.

At the top of your screen, by default, you will notice a long bar you can
click. If you click and drag this bar on any desktop except the first, you
will notice you can drag your desktop around to expose desktops below it.
<p>
This can be used to open up a gap between the current desktop and a desktop
below and then drag a window to the desktop below simply by moveing the window
there.
<p>
In addition pressing the middle mouse button on this bar will bring up a menu
with a list of all windows - select a window to set the current focus to this
window. Pressing right mouse buttonm will bring up a list of tasks sorted by
desktop - select one and you'll set the focus on that too.
