I had always used virtual desktops in e16 and no multiple desktops at
all, but I prefer to move from one desktop to another with
alt+shift+arrow (the default keybinding for this) instead of using edge
flip. this way his grandma would not be confused :)

I hope e17 will have virtual desktops, so I can use it the same way.
