I have been playing around with the Desk command, but I am stumped on a few
things:

* How do you change between virtual screens on the same desk? "Desk 0 1" sends
  me to Desk 1.

* Is there a way to do any bounds checking on the desktop number? I don't use
  virtual desktops, just a 3x3 grid of virtual screens. "Desk 1" should cause
  an error, not spontaneously create Desk 1 and send me there.
