Desktop switching tool
Is it my blindness, or has the desktop switching tool been removed in FC2? I don't see it anywhere, and I installed full packages of KDE, Gnome and Admin tools.
What file is it again to edit to manually switch it?

Nah, the GUI just doesn't get installed by default for some unknown reason. You can run the command-line version with "switchdesk kde" (or whatever) from a terminal. Or, if you have to have the GUI, it's on the CDs (don't remember where).
Or you can go really "old-school" and hand-edit the appropriate .x... or .X... file(s).

Old school: create/edit $HOME/.Xclients, or $HOME/.xsession (pick one) and make sure it's set for executable (chmod +x)
To see the "default" loading sequence, look at /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
