Excellent!  However, I don't think that on 640x480, where we can only have two 
large buttons, the "Desktop Access" button is important enough to be included 
-- I'd much rather see the buttons grouped such that those deemed most 
important (which would be open for debate) are displayed, rather than simply 
showing the first ones.  Here is a sample:

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]		button numbers
(1)(9)(6)(3)(8)(2)(7)(5)(4)		priority numbers

	640x480 (3 shown):
[1][3][2]...

	800x600 (7 shown):
[1][6][3][2][7][5][4]...

In other words, keep them in their pre-assigned left->right order, but cut out 
the less-important ones from sight along the way based on how many are shown.

Additionally, for higher resolutions (once all buttons are viewable and there 
is a bit of space left over before we hit the 560 pixel limitation), the 
"Preview" mode for the desktop selector could be enabled defaultly, as it is 
in current versions -- unless we have any additional reasons, not related to 
taskbar length, to disable them.
