Kde "Show virtual desktop name"

Dear all,
I am managing 8 virtual desktops and I have to admit (even though I use those) is a bit hard to remember in which virtual desktop goes what.
Is it possible after I switch to one virtual desktop to see a small message to the screen corner with the virtual desktop name? (This can disappear after some time)

You should be able to right click on the virtual desktop applet, go to settings, and have it so it shows the name of the workspace within each window. I know in both gnome and xfce, I can do this, just never tried it in kde, since I don't use it.

Cheers,

Josh

Just hovering the mouse over the active section of the desktop switcher thingy does it, doesn't it?
