I have knoppix 6.4.4 installed on a persistent usb drive. By default, compiz is set up and allows me to switch between my four desktops. The problem is, when I have two browsers open, one in desktop1 and one in desktop2, they both show it the taskbar in both desktops. I would like to keep them separate, each desktop showing only its current windows. This is how ubuntu sets up workspaces by default, but after much searching, I could not find any such settings on knoppix.

You should be able to change the settings by right clicking on the bottom pannel. If I remember; there is a check box that says something like "keep windows on their own desktop" or something to that effect.

When I right click and click on panel settings, I don't see any settings like that. – giodamelio Jun 10 '11 at 18:17
When I right click and goto "Taskbar (window list)" Settings there is an option called Show windows from all desktops. From the way my panels are acting, you would think that it would be checked already, buts its not. Also, checking and un-checking it does not seem to change anything. – giodamelio Jun 10 '11 at 18:19
