Yes but they are hacks you generally can't live without. I can't manage my current configuration (15 or so iTerm windows, Mozilla, iTunes, X11 clients and more) with Exposé, no way...
You know... iTerm has tabs :-). That's what I use.. but ok I rarely have 15... ;-). In Tiger you will have to live without desktop managers.. at least for now, but maybe they'll have them upgraded by its release.
No, you shouldn't have to - I have DesktopManager working with a few small patches. I'll submit them once Tiger is a little closer to release.
Yes, please do submit these patches! I'll be wanting to continue using DM w/ Tiger and it doesn't look like anyone's maintaining it anymore.
Any thoughts on whether Virtue will work in Tiger?
I tried Virtue first - no, it's not completely working at this point. I don't imagine it would be incredibly hard to fix, I just haven't had the time yet.
However, a word of warning - both of these utilities (and a bunch of others) were using internal (private) APIs. Whilst I can't discuss specifics due to my NDA, it would be prudent to say neither of these utilities feature all of the visual niceties they possess under 10.3.
That's all I can really talk about, but I have contacted Rich Wareham (the developer of DesktopManager) - yes, he is still out there - just busy. He doesn't have a copy of Tiger, so he can't test DM himself yet - I'd imagine when/if he gets Tiger everything will be fixed (He was the one who originally decoded the CGSPrivate header I believe).
Now - back to topic, and where's beta 6? ;)
