Here are two very good ones, both of which integrate seamlessly into the Mac OS X desktop:
<A HREF="http://www.codetek.com/php/virtual.php" TITLE="codetek.com">CodeTek Virtual Desktop</a codetek.com> - Payware ($30). Desktops can be arranged in a NxN fashion (including, of course, a single horizontal or vertical line). Use mouse or configurable keyboard shortcuts to switch to a different desktop. Move windows from one desktop to another by dragging them in the (optional, translucent) desktop pager. Desktops can optionally appear in a pull-down menu from the top menu bar.
<A HREF="http://wsmanager.sourceforge.net/" TITLE="sourceforge.net">Desktop Manager</a sourceforge.net> (a.k.a. Workspace Manager) - Free (GPL). Very minimal. A desktop pager (w/thumbnails) appear in the top menu bar - you can click on a desktop (or a thumbnail) in this pager, or select your desktop with a keyboard shortcut. However, currently the only way to move windows from one desktop to another is to hide it (Command + H), then switch to the new desktop and unhide it. That said, its compatability with unruly applications (such as individual X11 windows running in Apple's X11 server, or Lotus Notes etc) seems better than CodeTek VirtualDesktop.
