switch desktop


There is a command to switch desktops between kde and Gnome using a terminal command such as

switch workdesk, or workspace, which i have forgot?

can anyone tell me what it is again, or has it been left out from Man 10.00.

I know it worked in 9.2.

It isn't in the manual (defintive Guide 10.0)

Not sure exactly which dist you use but in slackware 9.1 you can
xwmconfig

and that will bring you to the window manager selection

No, that's not what I am looking for.

This is the Mandrake forum.

Mandrake is far easier than slackware, I just have forgotten the command.
