Sorry for the vague title but here's the situation: When I click on a URL in Evolution, I get a browser window, but said window invariably opens on the desktop where the browser originally launched when I started my session, meaning I have to switch desktops to see it. Is there some magic that will always respond to clicks by opening tghe window on the desktop where the click happened? I'm not even sure if this is a KDE question, an X11 question, a kwin question, a Plasma question, a browser question or what (though I don't think it's an Evolution question). poc _______________________________________________

Thanks. I tested your second suggestion and it appears to work, though it does require keeping a dummy Firefox window on "D2" (at least I can minimize the dummy window).

So, the other option may be to have Evolution start firefox with a profile different from the default. --- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@lists.fedoraproject.org

This may take a little bit of research on "your" part, but it may be an option. I am guessing that Evolution makes an xdg-open call to open a link. i think it then uses the contents of the firefox.desktop to execute. The way pick which of these, I do not know. Exec=firefox %u Exec=firefox --new-window %u Exec=firefox --private-window %u Exec=firefox --ProfileManager But, if you can find a way to have Evolution use an exec line with the command line parameter "-new-instance" this may be a solution. FYI, this is just a SWAG.  :-)
