CentOS - Sep 2007 - command to show virtual X screens

Hi all,

Is there a command line command that controls which virtual X screen
a person is viewing?

Sure I can click on one of the 4 virtual X screens but can I control that
from the command line.

Thanks,

Jerry

Are you talking about the workspaces provided by the default Gnome  
desktop manager?  If so, CTRL-ALT-<arrow_keys> should do what you want.

xvkbd is an X11 utility that send event to X application. You can
script your events.

Just send the good key or mouse event to the good application.

Ok - I didnt realize it was called workspace, but yes that is it.

But - what I want is a command line program that I can execute to show 
workspace 3.
The sometime later execute a command line program to show workspace 1.
