I also faced this bug, and can offer detailed diagnostics. Tested on Hedgy Heron, on newly created gnome desktop. This is a bug somewhere between gnome-keybinding-properties and desktop switcher.
To reproduce: enable advanced desktop effect (= switch to compiz) while having default two desktops. Then (while having compiz running) right click desktop switcher and increase desktop count (in my case I extended columns to 4 while keeping rows at 1). Then start gnome-keybinding-properties. You will see that you are not offered a chance to setup shortcuts to jump to dekstops 3 and 4 in spite of the fact they exist and work. Behind the courtain you can see in gnome-conf-editor that Apps > Metacity > general > num_workspaces is still 2, manually switching it to 4 resolves the issue. And, in fact, it may be natural. I am not running metacity at all, so why should its settings be updated (one can find that Apps > Compiz > general.screen0.options.hsize = 4) IMO this is a bug in gnome-keybinding-properties - one can not assume that Metacity.general.num_workspaces shows the number of workspaces anymore. My suggestion: just throw this logic away, make it possible to setup keys for desktops 1, 2, 3, ... 10 or so. While you could try to handle compiz too, you will soon face multihead monitors, or maybe yet another window manager, or .... Note: I am not the first who faced this bug, in fact somebody described it when I complained on ubuntu users that I can't setup keys for switch to desktop 3/4 -- gnome-keybinding-properties doesn't offer to set "Switch to desktop n" with n>=3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157383 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
