Hi Charles: If you are referring to the workspace switcher, I use it all the time.

The panels, desktop and icons remain in place. If you have a cluttered desktop in one work space it remains cluttered in the next. If you have an important set of work program icons hidden in a draw or only accessed from the menu on one workspace, you can't make them prominent in another. If you know some way to do it otherwise, I am all ears. Regards Bill
