Yes, this is what I'm referencing. Virtual desktops are common to all Unix/Linux GUI environments that I've seen. The switchdesk application is available for Fedora but does not seem to be available for CentOS.
I'm not sure about Centos 6.3, but for 5.8 it's in the base repo:
Available Packages Name : switchdesk-gui Arch : noarch Version : 4.0.8 Release : 7.el5 Size : 137 k Repo : base Summary : A graphical interface for the Desktop Switcher. License : GPL Description: The switchdesk-gui package provides the graphical user : interface for the Desktop Switcher.

Can I assume that I will not be able to select my chosen environment from GDM if I have multiple environments installed to choose from?
