Screenshot of the "Trash" button when the user has vertical screens
The "trash" button is surprising. The UI shows "look at this rectangle, you can
click on me!". Then when the user clicks on it, "Surprise! There was an
invisible button that showed up as you moved the mouse cursor, and now your
virtual desktop is gone!". Hidden buttons are just bad UX.
This effect is even worse if the user has a 16:9 vertical screen. (i.e. If the
monitor is rotated 90°.) Take a look at the attached screenshot, the invisible
button takes up about 40% of the area. That's a very large danger zone. So
large that I'm always scared to click on it.
It is so annoying that this person came up with his own "solution" (that gets
overwritten on each update):

As alternatives, I would suggest having a drag-and-drop feature, so that we can
easily reorder the virtual desktops, and so that dragging to a trash area would
delete the virtual desktop. (And dragging from the "plus" area would create a
new virtual desktop.)
I can understand implementing drag-and-drop can be complicated, so I'm
proposing an alternative behavior that is easier to implement: If the user
deletes the label (i.e. clicks on the label and deletes the text), then the
virtual desktop is deleted. In other words, an empty label would trigger a
deletion. This sounds intuitive-ish, as the user is already deleting something;
while also being very hard to trigger by accident.
Whatever the solution, please get rid of that trash button.
