Desktop switcher, on one monitor only?

Question

I have two screens, one I'd like one to be left alone when I switch desktops.

I have my IDE open on a vertical monitor and then my main monitor I have email, browser etc. all open in their open desktops at full screen.

I'd like to switch between them as I do on a single screen set up, but leave my IDE visible regardless of what desktop I'm looking at.

My System:

• Ubuntu 12.10
• GForce 210 - Nvidia x installed and working
• 8GB RAM
• Intel Core i5 processor.

Is this even possible?

Answer 1

I've never been able to find a setting to easily do this using Ubuntu's Unity Desktop. Someone can correct me if it exists.

However, the Cinnamon Desktop does allow this. Cinnamon Settings->Workspaces->'Only use workspaces on primary monitor'
