Hi Alex,

I'm afraid I disagree. You can assign hot keys in Gnome to any workspace 
you like, and I do it all the time. I only assign keys for the first 9, 
but I suppose I could just as easily use something like shift+control+f1 
through shift+control+f12 for all 12 workspaces. Its not as difficult as 
you make it sound. Imho I do agree that KDE's implementation is better 
in some ways.
