In KDE 3.4+, there's the option (tickbox) to have mouse wheel revolve between
virtual desktops. There's also KPager (with pixmaps and full drag-and-drop
support) for switching using mouseclicks, dock/panel pager, keyboard
accelerators that switch between desktops, and pushing with mouse cursor
thorough desktop borders. I must have forgotten a few other possibilities.
Never forget that KDE keeps evolving. It's worth revisiting every now and
then...
Best wishes,
