OWS: OSD Workspace Switcher

§ Description

OWS is a simple applet for the GNOME desktop that shows workspace name by means of OSD when the user change from one to other. This may occur pressing "Control" + "Alt" + "side arrows" or clicking in the workspace pager.

OWS may be a complete replacement to the standard Workspace Switcher because all its features are supported.

It uses gnome-osd
The initial code was based in the Workspace Name Applet by Alexandre Owen Muñiz
