Does Linux provides everything what Windows OS provides 3433

While I wouldn't consider zero desktop space much of an advantage for virtual desktop managers, I'm positive that fvwm can in fact run virtual desktops without using up screen space. It could either be not displayed, or displayed only in one desktop (leaving the others free).

It could also probably be made available for display only on request via one of the clickable menus.

In all of the above cases it is possible to move between virtual desktops using the keyboard without the mouse.

My own method is to just minimize exposure to the desktop manager, by making it a vertical array of 15 virtual desktops and placing the manager at the left side of the screen with a width of 64 pixels (on a 1024x768 screen). To make it usable with a mouse all that needs to be actually visible is perhaps 1-16 inch or so. It would be possible to make it only 1-16" wide too... but that'd be sorta ugly, eh?

That's on single monitor systems, such as the laptop. My main workstation has a pair of 19" monitors, and the manager is on the left side of the right hand monitor. Everything on that monitor is sticky, and appears in all of the 15 virtual desktops.

Hence I see no point in hiding a virtual desktop manager, but do go to an effort to make it non-intrusive.
