Hi,
I will answer to myself. I used the compiz settings manager and
checked the option "Desktop wall". That has to be checked to use the
virtual desktops.

I read in the README.Debian that I should add to xorg.conf:

        Section "Extensions"
            Option "Composite" "enable"
        EndSection

and in the Device section
       Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"

but there is no xorg.conf, and compiz is working properly, should I
create one by doing  X -configure and then modify it?

Thanks,
Dan
