Virtual desktops on X go back a lot further than that. First X11 implementation was in 1990 with vtwm. The Amiga 1000 had it for their systems in 1985.

The Amiga had the ability to have multiple video screens that you could drag down and even display partially at the same time in different video modes, which was impressive. I don't recall virtual desktops but I suppose Workbench had that, idk.

Anyway I was just referring to my experience with workspaces/multiple virtual desktops in KDE or whatever.
