Parallels Desktop in Full Screen mode and Mission Control

Sometimes I run few VMs in Full Screen mode. When I'd like to switch between them using mission control in Mavericks, I don't know which VM should I choose, because all of them are named Parallels Desktop. It is possible to change description into VM name?

Yeah, but in OS X 10.9 Maverics Parallel Desktop in Full Screen Mode creates own desktop and all this desktops (if I run more than one VM) is named "Paralell Desktop".
If I start, for example, MS Word and I start writing two documents in full screen mode, then every documents creates own desktop which is named like document ("Document1", "Document2", "Bilans", "report" etc), not MS Word.

Hi SylwesterP

I just opened the Word Document on Windows 8.1 VM and the name of the new document - Document 1. If I rename it to some other name => it'll display this name next time I open it.
So it is by design of MS Word.

Regarding the origin question.

Please do this preference for each VM you'd like to run in Fullscreen mode:

Virtual Machine -> Configure...-> Full Screen -> untick "Use Mac OS X Full Screen"

And you'll see that in Mission control (ctrl + ^) you have each VM located on a separate Space named as Desktop1. Desktop2 etc.
 
Ok, it's temporarily solution. I don't want few desktops all the time, I'd like it only when I start VM.
Could you treat it as feature request? In one of the next updates? It will be very welcome.

Thanks

Sylwester
