A cube does not have enough faces

This is a response to the picture showing workspaces mapped onto faces of a cube.

I regularly use up to 10 different virtual desktops on my linux systems (desktop fedora 6, laptop fedora 7), made very easy using the small, fast, reliable, uncluttered and gimmick-free ctwm window manager.

Keyboard short-cuts enable me to flip between workspaces very quickly.

I cannot imagine how windows users do serious work with only one workspace. It would drive me nuts.
