Configuring Multiple Window Mode
If Multiple Window Mode is enabled, every X application you start appears in a new Exceed onDemand window on your display. If you are using Exceed onDemand Client for Windows, you can use either the native window manager or any X window manager (local or remote). If you disable this option, all X applications are presented in a single Exceed onDemand Desktop.
