OK! I don't need, I don't want, I have no use for it. It makes life  
complicated, depending on some extra portion of software (isn't this  
the path to bloatware?). I would have to record half a dozen  
applications in System Preferences and I'm not sure where, in which  
space, each of them would appear – except I'd spend another hour in  
System Preferences and register them for the proper space. The  
traditional way, with xinit, is handy: a few seconds and a change is  
made, GNU Emacs x.y substituted by GNU Emacs y.x, because the text  
editor is running, prepared to work instantly. With System Preferences  
it'd take minutes, a whole break. This is OK for managers who do not  
work the whole day. They probably like over-specialised things, those  
with one, maybe only one half use.

And how can I debug maloperation? Einstein was right: Make it simple!  
(But not too simple.)


In ~/.login I still have

	setenv DISPLAY :0

This value is incremented, in the environment, when I have to launch  
X11 another time (after a crash, after an update) in the same login  
session.
