No, it was WorkPace. I've notied that they've stopped supporting Linux since when I got the license. Maybe bug them to see if they'll start supporting Linux again.

As for desks, the two that I have used have both been from the companies I've been working for, so I never had to buy one myslef. However, where I worked before (www.tilgin.com), everybody got an adjustable height desk (electric motor). They only bought the legs (cost a bit over 100 Euro per desk I think), and had some guys go around switching the legs on all the desks.

The brand of my current desk is www.holmbergsbordet.se but it looks quite expensive.



Thanks for the update. I did put in a request for Linux support with WorkPace.

I installed WorkRave this morning and have been trying it out while I work today. I like it. It seems like it would work really well with Gnome. I'm using XMonad. It's fully functional in XMonad, but the "tray" just floats on whichever desktop I start it on, which isn't ideal for XMonad.

I get the impression all the adjustable-height desks are expensive. I'm not a big fan of motorized ones. I tried them out at the Relax-the-Back store. They're way too slow at raising and lowering the desk for my taste, which is why I'm leaning toward something manual like the Float table.
