Virtual Desktops in GNOME (Fedora)

concoran · 03-23-2008, 05:12 PM

Like KDE has multiple desktops, is it possible to have those in GNOME in Fedora (8)?

Doesn't gnome have virtual desktops by default?

Yeas, Ubuntu which is Gnome has that by default.

And as I recall, Ubuntu has 2 whereas Fedora has 4.

But I don't see any on fedora. BTW, I removed one of the two default panels.

They are on the bottom right

Is it possible to add those onto whatever panel I have?

right click
add to panel
workspace switcher

not sure if you're being serious (a 417 poster and a 2119 poster trying to determine how to add to a panel?) but i'll play along so i can get to 30 posts and not be a newbie anymore...)

brisbin33, Thanks for the reply. I am able to add workspace switcher. But can't figure out a way to change desktop background in each. I am sure GNOME can, but don't know how.

i downloaded a program called wallpapoz via add/remove. i haven't set it up yet but i believe it lets you put different backgrounds on each workspace.
