Switch between workspaces in the Linux Gnome interface by right-clicking an app's title bar and selecting one of the "Move" options. To show the program in all workspaces, select Always on Visible Workspace. You can also press Ctrl and scroll your mouse wheel to navigate from workspace to workspace, or right-click the title bar of an open application and choose one of the "Move" options. Move to another desktop by clicking its icon in the panel, or click the Window Selector and choose the one you want to open. Increase the number of virtual desktops available in the Gnome Linux interface via the Workspace Switcher Preferences dialog box. Click one of the entries under "Workspace names" twice slowly (but don't double-click) to rename it, and check "Show workspace names in switcher" to add the name to its panel icon. Click the up arrow in the "Number of workspaces" field to add more workspaces, or simply enter a number up to 36. Make sure "Show all workspaces in (blank) rows" is selected, and set the number of rows you want the workspace-icons to appear in. You may also want to add the Window Selector applet, which offers another option for switching between your open workspaces.)

(If you don't see the Workplace Switcher icon, right-click the panel, choose Add to Panel, and click Workplace Switcher in the Desktop & Windows section. To add more desktops, right-click the Workplace Switcher icon in the bottom-right corner of the Gnome desktop and choose Preferences.
The multiple desktops let you focus on the task at hand without interruption, but switch to your other active workspace with a single click.īy default, the Gnome interface used by Ubuntu 7.10 allows only two virtual desktops at one time, though this number can be increased to as many as 36. This allows you to create separate work environments for various simultaneous tasks, such as one with a word processor, image editor, and spreadsheet open for creating a report, and another with e-mail and browser windows active for keeping in touch with co-workers. Perhaps the greatest single productivity-boosting feature in Linux is the ability to open several virtual desktops at one time.
