Hi All,

        anybody know of a way to switch workspaces in gnome/
any windowmanager? (on Debian of course ;-) )
     

The enlightenment window manager comes with a utility called eesh whish 
is used to send commands to the window manager via IPC. So doing a eesh 
-e "goto_desktop 0" switches to the first desktop, etc.

   



Sorry,

        doesn't work, may due to metacity2.4/gnome2.2 (sid),  I  renamed
my workspaces to "1", "2" etc. :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/user >eesh -e "goto_desktop 2"
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
 Major opcode of failed request:  2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
 Resource id in failed request:  0x0
 Serial number of failed request:  9
 Current serial number in output stream:  11

Well, I said "the enlightenment window manager". If you are running 
metacity, you are not running enlightenment. eesh is not able to talk to 
other window managers than e.
