After Googling and hunting and Googling some more and hunting some more,
I finally found a page that says to move your mouse to the bottom right and right click.
Nope. Not there. Next I found the “bottom edge” documentation wherein it says:
Your distribution of GNOME may have altered this default setup.
OK. I give. It’s too hard to find. Where is the workspace switcher hiding in Gnome for openSuSE 12.1?
Thank you!
Hi
In GNOME 3? there isn’t one by default, if you go to the top right hand
corner you get activities which shows overview.
To add a workspace switcher, you can add an extension from
https://extensions.gnome.org
Once installed, still on the web page hit the about link and you can
activate there, or install and use gnome-tweak-tool to activate.

All the Gnome documentation EVERYWHERE speaks of these panel thingys. And they are completely GONE?

Actually, I cannot. Yesterday’s installation is too old to use that site.

I’ll give that a shot. Thank you.
Cheat sheet was not helpful, but thank you.
However, think I understand a little more now. I think the Gnome folks may have forgotten that some folks use multiple monitors. There are multiple desk tops, but you cannot pre-configure them and they all have the same background. Under “activities” (top left corner), there is a desktop selector that always has one empty. Pick it and your primary screen goes there. Your ancillary screens remain the same. Unmoved. Clunky. Not as much context moves around as I would like. But at least I have several desk tops now. You just have to know.

To be slightly more complete: you have to download and install a special app (gconf-editor) and then configure
/desktop/gnome/shell/windows/workspaces_only_on_primary to be OFF.
