virtual desktops or workspaces
The concept of virtual desktops (workspaces in
GNOME) is like having several desks at your office. You store things on all
of them, but you only work at one of them at a time. You can devote each to
different tasks or just use them as extra space. Virtual desktops enable you
to have multiple windows open at the same time, but only look at one or
some of them. Easily shift windows between virtual desktops, like shifting
papers from one physical desk to another. All desktop environments offer
a means to control the number and use of virtual desktops. A workspace
switcher is provided in both the GNOME and the KDE panel.

terminal
A terminal enables you to send commands to the operating system.
There are “real” (physical) terminals basically consisting of a display screen
and a keyboard connected to the computer. Then there are terminal emu-
lations, which run in a window on your desktop and offer a prompt where
you can pass commands to the operating system.

session
Once you log in to your desktop, it starts a session for you. This session
is valid until you log out again. A session includes the start-up and shut-
down of certain programs on login and logout. These settings can be config-
ured individually for each user account.
