→The Desktop Panels
The area containing squares controls the currently displayed virtual workspace. The CentOS 6 GNOME desktop allows multiple workspaces to be active at any one time with different applications and windows visible on each workspace. To switch to a different desktop, simply click on one of the squares in the bottom toolbar. If your mouse has a scroll wheel, click on a workspace in the panel and then scroll back and forth through the workspaces. By default, two workspaces are configured, though this number can be increased or decreased (see [[Configuring the CentOS 6 GNOME Desktop Panels]]). To move an application window from one workspace to another, right click on the window toolbar and select the destination workspace from the Move to Another Workspace sub-menu.
When applications are running on the desktop, a button will appear in the bottom panel for each application located on the currently selected workspace. If the application’s windows are currently visible on the desktop, clicking the corresponding button in the panel will minimize the windows so that they are no longer visible. Clicking the button again will re-display the windows once again.
