Actually, the compile option sets these files up automatically; if
you said you wanted 1 desk with 1 view, it would be the same as accepting
the defaults and then doing exactly what I suggested. There is no
internal code change for selecting the views/desks upon compile time.
There is no RESOURCE change by altering this. In other words, you are not
correct in your assumptions, :) it's purely a visual thing that gets set.
