The Workspace Switcher 2.30.2 (to switch between virtual desktops) provided in oi_151a9 differs from the included help documentation. The help documentation says that the number of columns can be adjusted but the preferences documentation only allows adjusting the number of rows. The help documentation also says that each virtual desktop can be named. If I increase the number of rows, the number of virtual desktops does not increase (there are four), but space is allocated for the extra row in the switcher.

In Solaris 10, I enjoy the ability to create as many virtual desktops as I like (I am using 9) and the ability to name those desktops so that each desktop can be used to support a named activity. The switcher in OI 151a9 does not provide a way to name each virtual desktop.

Does the Workspace Switcher Preferences dialog actually reflect what the Workspace Switcher is capable of doing? Is this simplistic preferences dialog some sort of bug? Is there a way to make the OI desktop more usable by replacing/bypassing this preferences dialog?
