Hey Y'all, Does CentOS have a desk top switcher similar to what you find on Fedora? A friend of mine want's to be able to switch between desktops. I've only got Gnome installed on my machine so I don't switch. A search of Google turns up reference to CentOS 4 for desktop switcher but I don't see anything for CentOS 6.3.

I forget if it comes up with 1 or 2 configured. I forget offhand how you configure them, but its not hard to find. -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast
Wait ... what do you mean by desktops? Workspaces or Desktop Environments? Your reference to only having GNOME on your machine is unclear. ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 // On Fri, Nov 2, 2012 at 11:51 PM, Mark LaPierre <marklapier at aol.com> wrote:> Hey Y'all, > > Does CentOS have a desk top switcher similar to what you find on Fedora? > > A friend of mine want's to be able to switch between desktops.
