Hello, I want to create new desktop with the menu but diferent content in some ways

For example, the next desktop will have the menu in the left but also another text (will be a different window)

I have the next code:

```auto

system.gui.openDesktop(screen=0, handle="Windows/Uno", windows="Windows/Uno")

```

"Windows/Uno" is the name of other window but appears a new desktop just empty and I need to appear the window "Uno"

The `windows` parameter expects a sequence, such as a Python list:

`system.gui.openDesktop(screen=0, handle="Windows/Uno", windows=["Windows/Uno"])`

I'm pretty sure the path you want is just "Uno", also. "Windows" is the root, and not part of the path. You can right click the window in the designer to confirm.
