I still use KDE is because I can use <ctrl Fx> keystrokes to switch betweenI don't use the control key for this, but it works with other keys. I use the "Windows key" (It has a pretty penguin on my keyboard, shame that Cool Keyboards went out of buisness) in linux and <Alt> in Solaris.

I press the function key twice to have the switch occur. Under KDE it just works. Something is trapping my first keypress but I sure cannot figure out what. I do notice that If I just press and release the <ctrl> key I get
a diamond on the screen wherever the mouse pointer that explodes and then disappears. Does anyone have a clue wtf that is?? I think that is what is
trapping my ctrl key presses. It is only the left <ctrl> key but that is the one I want to use.
Use gconf-editor,the keys are apps/metacity/global_keybindings/switch_to_workspace_<N>
The diamond is the Locate Pointer function. Not sure where it is in the GUI, but with gconf editor:
desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/locate_pointer , un-check it to disable that.
It in the mouse-preferences panel, cursors tab. Run gnome-mouse-properties.
