Yes, switchdesk is in text mode, but I was looking a GUI mode, and I found it.
I had to install switchdesk-gui - A graphical interface for the Desktop Switcher.
Code:
[root@pc-gonzalo gonzalo]# apt-get install switchdesk-gui
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
switchdesk-gui (4.0.3-1)
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 removed and 30 not upgraded.
Need to get 121kB of archives.
After unpacking 217kB of additional disk space will be used.
Get:1 http://download.fedora.us fedora/2/i386/os switchdesk-gui 4.0.3-1 [121kB]
Fetched 121kB in 3s (32,1kB/s)
Checking GPG signatures...
Committing changes...
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:switchdesk-gui ########################################### [100%]
Done.
I don't know why, but Fedora 2 does not come with this package.
Thank you for your reply.
Greetings.

switchdesk-gui is part of the main distro. Did you do an upgrade install, or perhaps a minimal install first? It should have been installed for you. (the location you downloaded from is a mirror of the main release, i.e. a directory containing what is on the cds). If the main install failed to include that package it should be mentioned in bugzilla.

I did not do and upgrade install, I did a clean install, I always do I manual selecting packages and I selected the 'switchdesk' package during the installation, but I never saw the 'switchdesk-gui' package. I checked it twice.
Anyway, thank you for your replies.
Greetings

Well, I'm not the only one. 
You can get switchdesk-gui from here
switchdesk-gui-4.0.3-1.noarch.rpm is the latest version.
