I think right-clicking on it or clicking on the small up-arrow isn't too =
hard.
And you also have the possibility in changing it through the control-cent=

So there are 3 ways (right-click, up-arrow, kcontrol) to do it, how many =

ways of doing it do we really need?

For example I named my desktops with right-clicking. I did not know about=

possibility to change the name by double-clicking until I accidentaly=20
destroyed my clipboard with it. So it's also not very intuitive to change=
 the=20
name of the desktop that way, IMO.

The latter would be OK with me. (Still overkill, but at least not annoyin=

I don't think there is demand of quickly changing the name of your deskto=

really.=20
Changing desktops and using the clipboard on the other hand are day-to-da=

work which should have the priority.
