+<para>&tde; supports multiple desktops, widely known as virtual desktops.</para>
+
+<para>Virtual desktops are like having multiple computers. In older operating systems, users
+had access only to one desktop. Virtual desktops work much the same way as having multiple
+computers. Many users configure their virtual desktops by grouping similar tasks.</para>
+
+<para>Virtual desktops apply only to each user's session. Other users logged in also can define
+virtual desktops.</para>

+<title>Number of Desktops</title>
+
+<para>&tde; offers the possibility to define up to 20 virtual
+desktops. In this module you can configure the number of desktops as well
+as names. Use the slider or spinner widgets to adjust the number of
+desktops. Assign names to the desktops by entering text into the respective
+text fields.</para>

+<sect2 id="multiple-desktops-switching">
+<title>Desktop Switching</title>
+
+<para>There are several ways to switch to the different desktops.</para>
+
+<para>When you enable <guilabel>Mouse wheel over desktop switches
+desktop</guilabel>, then scrolling the wheel over an empty space on the
+desktop will change to the next virtual desktop numerically, in the
+direction scrolled. Scrolling forward (up) will select the desktop in the
+next numerical order. Scrolling backwards (down) will do the opposite.</para>
+
+<para>Another way to switch desktops is using the default keyboard shortcuts. For virtual
+desktops 1 through 12, use <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>F1</keycap></keycombo>,
+<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo>,
+<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;<keycap>F3</keycap></keycombo>, etc. For virtual desktops
+13 through 20, use <keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;&Shift;<keycap>F1</keycap></keycombo>,
+<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;&Shift;<keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo>,
+<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;&Shift;<keycap>F3</keycap></keycombo>, etc.</para>
+
+<para>Another method is to install the Desktop Preview &amp; and Pager Menu panel applet. The
+default &tde; desktop has this applet already installed with a default number of virtual desktops
+set to four. When this applet is installed in the panel, miniature desktops can be viewed and
+selected with the mouse pointer.</para>
 
-<para>&tde; offers you the possibility to have several virtual
-desktops. In this tab you can configure the number of desktops as well
-as their names. Just use the slider to adjust the number of
-desktops. You can assign names to the desktops by entering text into the
-text fields below.</para> 
+<para>Like the desktop mouse wheel scrolling support, the scroll wheel can be used with the pager
+applet too.</para>
 
-<para>If you enable <guilabel>Mouse wheel over desktop switches
-desktop</guilabel> then scrolling the wheel over an empty space on the
-desktop will change the the next virtual desktop numerically, in the
-direction you scrolled (either up or down).</para>
+<para>The Desktop Preview &amp; and Pager Menu panel applet has its own set of configuration
+options. Like many panel applets, the Desktop Preview &amp; and Pager Menu panel applet has a handle,
+from which a popup menu appears when using the &RMB;. When the popup menu appears, select the
+<guimenuitem>Desktop Preview &amp; Pager Menu</guimenuitem> option, then
+select the <guisubmenu>Pager Options</guisubmenu> submenu option.</para>
