GNOME supports virtual desktops very well. To have them on the panel, you
need to put there an applet of some sort which I forgot its name. Somewhere
in the GNOME "foot" menus, you can find it. Just make sure you see a square
on the panel and next to it a button for each opened application.
Next, you'll need to configure your windows manager. In Enlightenment,
(which is the default window manager in the Red Hat packaging of GNOME and
basically GNOME 1.0.x), you need to run the Enlightenment configuration
utility, and set it up. You can run it by accessing the Windows Managers
Tab of the control-center and then selecting Enlightenment and pressing the
"Configure Window's Maanger" button.
If you are using IceWM (which AFAIK is the default for Mandrake), you
should use icepref to do that. icepref is a Python/Gtk+ program so you need
to have both Python and the Python bindings for Gtk+ installed.
GNOME 1.2.x works with the Sawfish windows manager, which I did not have
any experience with. It should have a configuration applet for GNOME, too.
Contact me by E-mail, if you encounter further problems.
