"switchdesk" ?
Yes, switchdesk is in text mode, but I was looking a GUI mode, and I found it.
I had to install switchdesk-gui - A graphical interface for the Desktop Switcher.
I don't know why, but Fedora 2 does not come with this package.Code:[root@pc-gonzalo gonzalo]# apt-get install switchdesk-gui Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: switchdesk-gui (4.0.3-1) 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 removed and 30 not upgraded. Need to get 121kB of archives. After unpacking 217kB of additional disk space will be used. Get:1 http://download.fedora.us fedora/2/i386/os switchdesk-gui 4.0.3-1 [121kB] Fetched 121kB in 3s (32,1kB/s) Checking GPG signatures...

Thank you for your reply.

switchdesk-gui is part of the main distro. Did you do an upgrade install, or perhaps a minimal install first? It should have been installed for you. (the location you downloaded from is a mirror of the main release, i.e. a directory containing what is on the cds). If the main install failed to include that package it should be mentioned in bugzilla.

I did not do and upgrade install, I did a clean install, I always do I manual selecting packages and I selected the 'switchdesk' package during the installation, but I never saw the 'switchdesk-gui' package. I checked it twice.
Anyway, thank you for your replies.

Well, I'm not the only one.
You can get switchdesk-gui from here
switchdesk-gui-4.0.3-1.noarch.rpm is the latest version.
