I need this feature despite being told, high-handedly, by the Raspberry
Pi lot that I don't and that they don't support it. Most search results
are out of date as usual.

Manjaro (KDE) does it but it doesn't work in other ways. Cinnamon does
it but seems a bit OTT.

Raspberry Pi OS is an OS distribution.
That distribution provides a desktop environment (DE).
By default RPiOS uses a DE called PIXEL based on customised LXDE.

If the default DE doesn't provide what you want, install another one.
If KDE is the thing you want, install that. Or find another DE.
Don't throw out the OS just because you want to change the window
dressing.

https://raspberrytips.com/upgrade-raspbian-lite-to-desktop/
which starts with RPiOS Lite, but you can also do it from full RPiOS by
skipping to step 4.

It is also possible to skip using a DE and do it 'by hand' by installing
a window manager directly (like i3 or FVWM), which gets you basic window
manipulation without also giving you a dock, system tray, file manager,
etc. I know FVWM supports multiple workspaces.

I've already installed Cinnamon and will stick with it. There are no
performance issues with it, those only start with the ginormous loads
all modern browsers place on systems. Only chromium seems to use
hardware acceleration on youtube.

Yes yes, I know all that. I just wanted to use a desk top optimised for
the pi. ALL desktops have the ability to use multiple workspaces except
Pixel. It was removed from Pixel specifically because somebody at
Raspberry Pi couldn't be bothered to fix a bug in it.
