Pas clair du tout. Manque d'explication, vraiment, sur la façon de passer d'un bureau virtuel à l'autre, et les fonctions bizarres d, w, etc. Rien compris.

After trying, for quite a while, to figure out how to use this extension I still don't know how to use it. At this point, I'll just give up. While I'm sure that some people will find this extension useful, I didn't.
