centos has the 4 virtual desktops by default. if I have a terminal window open in desktop 1 is there a command I can execute (type in) to switch to desktop 2?
The mouse will not be attached at this point and I want to switch views using a command line. How do I do that?
Thanks,
Jerry
Which window manager are you using?

Two approaches: Use the shortcut key for your WM. For example, CTL-ALT-Left or CTL-ALT-Right..
Or
Install the wmctrl package from rpmforge and do: wmctrl -s 1 wmctrl -s 2
That's if you want to do it from a script..
