Yeaaahhh... I'm getting an edumaction here. Workspaces, I take it, is
the better term? I'm currently using KDE as my "session". When I login,
I can chose a "session" from the menu, so that is what I've called it.
At any rate, when I log into KDE and I have 6 "workspaces" I can just
move the mouse pointer to the far right side of my "screen" "workspace"
and after so many milliseconds I move into the next screen "workspace"
to the right, without clicking a box or twisting my fingers into some
sort of ctrl-right arrow thing. Or, I can go down or left or up, and no,
I do not use compiz. It's just a feature of KDE that I can not mimic in
Gnome, which is a rotten shame cause it's so slick! IF it can be done,
I'd love to know how. Thanks for the clarification.  :) Ric
