Switching 3D Desktop with out a keyboard.

I'm using Mandriva 2007 with a small 8" touchscreen. I have enabled the 3D Dresktop and normaly I can swith desktops by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Left (or Right) or by pressing Ctrl+Alt and mouse right click and drag. But, I'm not going to have a keyboard. Is there a way to rotate my desktop with out the keyboard. I'm thinking of maybe putting a button on my Panel at the bottom of the screen (Although I don't know how to do this).

Any suggestions.

Thanks

The scroll wheel on the mouse should do that, if you have one.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Two problems with that.
1)the scroll wheel on the mouse works for the regular desktop, But I don't think it does for the 3D desktop.
2)I'm using a touch screen. No Mouse or Keyboard.

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

You could try installing Brightside and having it run 3ddesk when your mouse pointer touches corners of screen. I have mine do '3ddesk --view=goright' and '3ddesk --view=goleft' with bottom corners.
