It has been asked before, but this is a difficult topic to
search on because the keywords are used so heavily on this
list.

Thanks for not giving up on us!  And congratulations on the
successful install.  :-)

The config you are looking for depends on your "Display
Manager".  You are probably using one of these three:  xdm,
gdm, kdm.  If you tell us which one you're using, then
someone will be able to give you decent instructions.

I've never used switchdesk, so I can't help you with that.
 Have you tried 'man switchdesk' yet?  If you can find out
where it learns about the available desktops...
