kde 3.5.8-7.fc8 desktop navigation issue

I recently upgraded from Fedora Core 6 -> Fedora 8.

Almost everything is better even the running of KDE, however one of the Most Useful
features of KDE has stopped working the way it used to.
I use (on several different workstations and laptops including a Macbook) Ctrl-Tab to navigate around multiple desktops.

Now on KDE 3.5.8-7 Ctrl-Tab will let me select different Firefox tabs but in a desktop with just xterms it won't do anything (but send some unusable control character to the xterm)

Alt-Tab will let me scroll through a semi-random list of ALL windows on All desktops, but I want to just scroll sequentially forward and backward through the desktop list.

I've checked and unchecked the
control center > Desktop > Window Behavior > Traverse Windows on All Desktops

But that isn't what I really want.

The Mouse wheel over desktop background isn't nearly as useful as I have to take may hands off the keyboard.

Anyway way to get the old functionality back please?

Re: kde 3.5.8-7.fc8 desktop navigation issue

I've figured it out after refreshing my memory and reading:
http://www.linux.com/feature/54468

For some reason the default set of keyboard shortcuts is different in 3.5.8 than before as
I've never had to turn this feature on before.

Control Center > Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard Shortcuts > Walk Through Desktops

I'm saved!
