What windows do you have open on the different desktops?

I can place windows anywhere inside this rectangle (if I draw big pictures I can have one emacs window that spans across several screens). Then I have "quick-buttons", which take me to predefined sections of the desktop (but I can view an area somewhere in the middle too if I want to) ________ | |_ | | |_| ||__| | |__|| | |__|__|__| | | | | |__|__|__|
