On a related note, I'm very bugged by how my muscle memory always goes 
for left and right when I'm required to use up and down instead. Could 
there be an alternative method of switching workspaces, for example, 
flicking the mouse up while clicking on the desktop (like a gesture), or 
CTRL+ALT+PG[UP/DOWN]? I could get used to the up/down keys in time, but 
a gesture of some kind would be very helpful (and potentially useful to 
people with touch-screens)
