Thanks for an impressively prompt reply, Bev! But can you tell me where in https://www.linuxmint.com/ it says that it has (or can install) Gnome 2?
I'm running Mint17 with MATE (Mah-tay) desktop and although I have no idea which version of Gnome it runs, nor indeed how to find out, it has the workspace switcher you describe.
This says MATE is Gnome2 (and Cinnamon, the other standard desktop) is Gnome3.

I'm happy to look at anything on my system you might want to know.

Best wishes, Ted.

So can anyone point me to installation resources for a Linux distribution which has Gbome 2?
Scientific Linux: https://www.scientificlinux.org/ used to have Gnome 2 for some time after Gnome 3 came out, but it seems that it now only has Gnome 3 (though I haven't found definite confirmation of this on the SciLin website).
Any relevant info anf help will be much appreciated! Thanks, and best wishes to all, Ted.
