.TH 3ddeskd "1" "August 2002" "3ddeskd" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
3ddeskd - 3ddesktop daemon
.SH SYNOPSIS
3ddeskd [ OPTIONS ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This is the server for 3ddesk. 3ddeskd runs at all times to reduce load
time and maintain a persistent state. In order for 3ddesk to work the
server needs to be running in the background before you can go 3D. Just
run "3ddeskd" to start it. Give the \-\-acquire option to acquire cached
versions of all your desktops. It will cycle thru all your
desktops/workspaces. 3ddesk activates the server and gives you a
fullscreen.
.PP
You only need to start 3ddeskd once! If you run 3ddesk and it sees the
server isn't started it will attempt to start it for you.
.PP
When you start 3ddesktop without \-\-acquire you will not see the images
of your other desktops. It can only take a snapshot of your current
desktop -- so either it must acquire them initially by cycling through
all of them or they will not show up until you move from them using
3ddesktop. Your other virtual desktops \fBwill\fR show up but only
\fBafter\fR you've been to them.
.PP
The texture for the current desktop is acquired when you start 3ddesk so
once you start 3ddesk from each virtual desktop your screens will all
show up. They will only stay consistent if you only use 3ddesk to
switch desktops (if you don't use deskguide). Mess around with it
you'll see how it works.
