Gnome Shell Might Add Real Multiple Desktops

“Right now you have multiple desktops but only from the
applications point of view: you can move applications from one
desktop to another and that’s it. There is currently a mockup
posted @ Gnome Shell Design Playground website (and a lot of
discussion about it on the Gnome Shell mailing list) which seems
very interesting:

“The idea is to have custom folders for each desktop. Right now,
the desktop is located at /home/your_username/Desktop and this
would provide a new folder for each virtual desktop so that you can
fully work on a project on a given Desktop – including all the
files related to your project / task.

“Gnome Shell would also include a menu for this in the Overview
mode which could be used to drag and drop to assign any Desktop to
any workspace.”
