Gnome 2 had virtual desktops
I don't know much about Gnome's history, that's why I used the earliest mention I could find.
KDE Plasma may have had it before 4.2.0 too, but I cannot find KDE 3, 2, or 1 announcements. Most likely because of the name change.
KDE had them back in the 90s. They had to - virtual desktops were a feature of pretty much any window manager more complicated than TWM. They'd have been laughed at if they didn't.
No they had to wait specifically for Plasma 420 for the most important feature. Look forward to Plasma 6.9 as well.
