Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
Though the workspace switcher in the bottom right corner allows you to
have multiple rows (Show all workspaces in: X rows), only one row is
used. I have four workspaces and wanted to show them in two rows. All
that happens is that the workspace icons/previews in the switcher become
half as tall and the bottom is left empty. They are still all side-by-
side.
I am using the "Normal" desktop/compiz effects.
I upgraded from feisty, so that might be a consideration. It certainly explains
why I have four workspaces, since the switcher, at least in "normal" mode
doesn't allow you to select how many workspaces you'd like, only if it should
show the current workspace or all of them in multiple rows.
When I go back to using no visual effects, I am able to select how many
workspaces I'd like and change the workspaces names (and choose whether
to show those names in the switcher.) So it seems clear the problem is
related to the visual effects, unless the config from feisty somehow
messes up the tool's preferences when visual effects are used.
