I have a question regarding compiz-fusion, is it possible to have more then 4 virtual desktops? I did the _one click_ install from http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz-Fusion#openSUSE_10. On another PC and it reduced the number of defined desktops from 8 to 4. On my main desktop I usually have something open on at least 5 desktops and prefer to have more than 4 available.
