If you're using Gnome, go to Preferences->Personal->Keyboard Shortcuts.
Down near the bottom are options for "Switch to workspace N".  By
default they're disabled, but there are defaults for:

	Switch to workspace on the left: CTRL+ALT+Left
	Switch to workspace on the right: CTRL+ALT+Right
	Switch to workspace above: CTRL+ALT+Up
	Switch to workspace below: CTRL+ALT+Down

Is that what you want?  I have no idea how KDE does this.
