    I've been using multiple desktops for years - in fact since I first
    acquired a 486-25 (!) at work, the first machine I had which had
    enough "welly" to run X. fvwm-2 was the window manager.

    My reasons are the same as most that have been quoted already: I use
    desktop 1 for xterms, 2 for xemacs, 4 for galeon/mozilla, 5 for
    openoffice, 6 for VMWare, 7 for sound apps, 11 for vnc, 12 for kmail.

    I usually have 12 desktops enabled (there is little extra cost after
    all) and use the others as spares.

    Oh yes, I'm using kwm under kde3.1 almost exclusively these days
    except for vnc session where I use icewm.
