Related to that, I also keep a fair number of desktops, and I find that they 
take more of my taskbar than I wish to give them. My solution was to put a tray 
(aka drawer) on the taskbar, and put the desktop switcher in that. I usually 
leave it open, but I can gain the space it takes just by closing the drawer.

Then I have room for the monitor app on the taskbar, so I can quickly see if the 
system is running badly.  ;-)
