It may very well be too early in the morning for me to fully understand this, 
but I do not get the 'possibilities' bit.  U mean, multiple desktops, as far 
as I know, is part of X (xorg if you wish), and by 'functional inheritance' 
so to speak, all Linux window managers and desktop managers support ihis.  
Are you saying that there are Linux users out there that are oblivious to the 
fact that they have multiple desktops ?

Cheers.
