Custom workspace arrangement?

[Marko Vojinovic]

Hi everyone! :-)

I have configured eight virtual desktops (or workspaces, or whatever they are 
called) on my stock up-to-date F16 KDE. They are automatically arranged in 2x4 
fashion, two rows with four columns in the pager. I want a 1x8 geometry, so 
that there is no desktop "above" or "below" the current one. I can configure 
the pager to display the desktops in this fashion, but the rest of KDE somehow 
still "knows" that desktop 5 is "below" desktop 1. This is visible when 
switching desktops via the keyboard, or using some 3D desktop effects, or 
otherwise.

So, how do I configure KDE to arrange my desktops into a 1x8 geometry?

The point is that I want to use right/left screen edge to move to the 
next/previous desktop, but I do *not* want anything to happen when I hit the 
top/bottom screen edge. However, I cannot configure screen edge action 
separately for each edge, and OTOH I cannot arrange eight desktops so that 
there is no desktop above/below the current one.

I'd appreciate any pointers on how to disentangle this mess. ;-)

Best, :-)
