Gnome: The Desk Guide
The Gnome desktop and the main groups of software are supplied with a default installation of Gnome. If you are the kind of user who takes full advantage of a multitasking environment, it doesn’t take long for the Gnome desktop to become completely filled with windows. Gnome has an excellent solution for this problem in the form of the Desk Guide, which is a virtual desktop that can hold multiple desktop, each accessible at the click of a button.
- Desk Guide Icon the Gnome panel
If the Desk Guide feature is already set up on your PC, you will see its icon on the Gnome panel. If the Desk Guide icon does not appear there, right-clickon the Gnome Panel and choose Desk Guide from the Utility menu.
In the default four-square Desk Guide, clicking on any of the squares reveals a completely new area of the desktop. Any window you open within any of these windows remains in place until you return to it, thus quadrupling the size of your desktop simply and quickly.

The Gnome panel is the bar that runs along the bottom of the desktop. It is a jumping-off point to applets (mini-applications that work from the panel), the configuration tools that can be customized by the user who can add their own selection of menus and symlinks to applications and files. It is also possible to place additional Gnome panels elsewhere on the desktop.
