Yep, built into GNOME. Either use the workspace switcher applet on the lower panel _or_ the keyboard shortcuts [0].
Ctrl + Alt + left or right arrow by default for GNOME2. Recent versions of GNOME (version 3) use Ctrl + Alt + up or down arrow by default.

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.
its built into gnome, you can enable as many virtual desktops as you like, and move windows onto any of them. they should up as little boxes to the right end of the bottom toolbar (taskbar?). I forget if it comes up with 1 or 2 configured.
I forget offhand how you configure them, but its not hard to find.
