Thanks for the quick reply. I set up shortcuts for workspace switching 
and that works perfectly. Now I can switch between my presentation and 
my Arduino IDE quickly.

(I originally installed Xubuntu and then added the Gnome desktop and 
Unity, and every so often I run into some oddness that may be caused by 
not having installed Gnome from the start. So far it's not been enough 
of a nuisance to re-install)

Thanks!
Michael
