I decided to upgrade to OS Lion, but have been very disappointed with Mission Control. I am a big Spaces user, and this is my solution. After making Mission Control behave a bit more like spaces via the useful info I found at Gigamon.com - I then converted my organizing wallpaper for OS X to help me out a bit in recognizing which desktop I was on. Let me know if this is helpful or how I can make it even more helpful. Thanks
