Four virtual workspaces appear in the workspace switcher on the GNOME panel. Here are some things to do with the workspace switcher: . Choose current workspace Four virtual workspaces appear in the workspace switcher. Click any of the four virtual workspaces to make it your current workspace. . Move windows to other workspaces Click any window, each represented by a tiny rectangle in a workspace, to drag-and-drop it to another workspace. . Add more workspaces Right-click the workspace switcher, and select Preferences. You can add workspaces (up to 32). . Name workspaces Right-click the workspace switcher and select Preferences. Click in the Workspaces pane to change names of workspaces to any names you choose. You can view and change information about Metacity controls and settings using the gconf-editor window (type gconf-editor from a Terminal window). As the window says, it is not the recommended way of changing preferences, so when possible, you should change the desktop through GNOME preferences. However, gconf-editor is a good way to see descriptions of each Metacity feature.
