Are you now running Gnome 2? In Gnome 2 the Control Centre has indeed no
facility to set the number of virtual desktops. You must use a panel menu to
add a 'desktop switcher' (suppose that is the same as the 'desk guide
applet') to a panel, if there isn't already one. That 'desktop switcher'
allows you to set the number of desktops as well as how to show them on the
panel.

Never seen that one. But never installed *all* of Gnome.
