If you try this, just try it at a point where you won't lose anything.  
That said, everything worked but it was just a single desktop, like 
winders has.  Ewwwww!!  After I logged back in, it went back to normal.  
Well, one of the settings changed on my taskbar but I fixed it.
Just wanted to give a heads up that this may not work for everyone.  By 
the way, I'm on Gentoo with KDE 4.7.3.
