-				<itemizedlist>
-					<listitem>
-						<para>
-							the <guilabel>Computer</guilabel> icon. If you double-click this icon, a window appears that contains available storage devices on the computer. These are also listed in the <menuchoice><guimenu>Places </guimenu><guisubmenu> Computer</guisubmenu></menuchoice> menu.
-						</para>
-					</listitem>
-					<listitem>
-						<para>
-							the <guilabel>Home</guilabel> icon, which represents the location where all of the logged in user&#39;s files, such as music, movies, and documents, are stored by default. There is a different home directory for each user, and users cannot access each other&#39;s home directories by default.
-						</para>
-					</listitem>
-					<listitem>
-						<para>
-							the <guilabel>Trash</guilabel> icon. Normally, when you choose to delete a file, it is not permanently removed from your system. Instead, it is sent to the trash folder, which you can access from this icon. To permanently remove a file from your system, you must <firstterm>empty</firstterm> the trash. To empty the trash, right-click the icon and select <menuchoice><guilabel>Empty Trash</guilabel></menuchoice>.
-						</para>

-							<title> Permanently deleting files </title>

-								To bypass the trash and permanently delete a file, hold down the <keycap>Shift</keycap> key when deleting the file.

 			<para>
-				The Fedora Live CD desktop also includes an icon for installing Fedora to your hard disk. Additional icons may appear depending on your system. For example, inserting a USB stick will cause an icon to appear for accessing the stick.
+				You can switch between active applications by using the keyboard shortcut <keymap>Alt + Tab</keymap>. The <firstterm>application switcher</firstterm> will appear showing icons of active applications. <keymap>Alt + Tab</keymap> will cycle through the applications from left to right, while <keymap>Shift + Alt + Tab</keymap> will cycle from right to left. If an active application has more than one window open, you can also use <keymap>Alt + `</keymap> and <keymap>Shift + Alt + `</keymap> to cycle through the windows, where <keymap>`</keymap> is the key above the <keymap>Tab</keymap> key on your keyboard.

+				You can also add more workspaces and cycle between them using <keymap>Control + Alt + Up</keymap> and <keymap>Control + Alt + Down</keymap>. You can move an active window to another workspace by using <keymap>Control + Shift + Alt + Up</keymap> or <keymap>Control + Shift+ Alt + Down</keymap>.
