Desktop Switching in KDE 3.5

In previous versions of KDE, if you held down the desktop switching keyboard shortcut, for me Win + Tab, it would pop up a destop list, like the window list in 3.5, and you could cycle through the desktop by hitting tab again while holding down Win. This doesn't work in 3.5, it only lets me go in order, or switch between two. These also have to be different key shortcuts in 3.5. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

RE: Desktop Switching in KDE 3.5

I think I know what you mean - you can re-assign keyboard shortcuts:

Control Center -> Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Shortcuts.

What I am trying to do is get the same behavior KDE 3.3 had. If you held down the desktop switching shorcut, it would cycle through. KDE 3.5 does this for windows, but not desktops. For desktops you have two different shortcuts, one cycles through, but not like the windows where it pops up a box, it just switches desktops. The other simply toggles between the two most recent desktops. Also, when I run ksysguard, it says: ksysguard: error while loading shared libraries: libdns_sd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. The file is in my kde3.5/lib folder.

Thanks

RE: Desktop Switching in KDE 3.5

The last post was correct,

Control Center > Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard Shortcuts

but you want to create shortcuts for "Walk Through Desktops List /(Reverse)"

This will keep the list in order and you can go through them the way you did in 3.3.
