Can anyone tell me if you can rename desktops under Mission Control rasther than have Desktop 1, etc?

Renaming desktops is a must!
Renaming desktops is a must!
Moving windows from one desktop to another is simple; too bad that you can't rename or rearrange those desktops, though!
You can’t rearrange or rename spaces, either: You get Desktop 1, Desktop 2, and so on, and that’s it. And, unlike earlier iterations of Spaces, you can’t arrange your desktops into a two-dimensional grid; you get that horizontal array only. (Hence the sideways-swipes you use to navigate from one space to another.)
something strange really happens.

Dont ask me how, that just happens. I don't know how you could get that intentionally
Is that a bug?

You can't rename desktops under mission control. I suggest deleting the desktops by clicking the X button then adding it again on the far right there's a plus sign there
that is a weirdee!
And will that rename them?

There is an option in the Mission Control preferences to automatically rearrange spaces based on most recent use. This appears to be the system default and is likely the cause of this behaviour.
Thank you. What's really what I missed.
Could you explain how this happened cos I also encountered this before.
I've seen similar and it was a bug with a specific piece of software (in my case ChangeDesktop).
I've tried running Mail and Sparrow up together and can't reproduce this, perhaps you have something else installed that's not playing nice with Mission Control?

This happened to me as well. It happened, when a full screen app needed to draw it's attention to the user, so it switched to it, and pulled the desktop next to it.

This happens, when you open mission control, and then a new window opens. This happens with growl as well, and it is definitely a bug.
Not rename but it will reset the numbering system to go back 1 > 2 > 3 > 4. Since you're deleting the spaces
renaming and reordering would be nice features!
i think you can't,you can choose to open apps in the desktop you currently are but no rearrenge them or rename like apps in launchpad..
Mission Control has to be the dumbest thing that Apple ever came up with, and, forces it on us when pre-Lion Spaces worked perfectly. Mission Control = Argggg and Uggggg IMHO. Did I mention that trying to rename and rearrange spaces is a excersize in futility? What was Apple thinking??? Sheesh!!!
i was really frustrated not being able to rename the desktops as well but i do have an alternative answer to labeling the desktops. I figured just using the stickies and typing in a label in large font and placing it in each desktop. It's not much but it'll do for now. Hope this satisfies in some way.
Here's how my mission control looks:
