It works fine for me with the latest ion2, at least after changing
"exec" to "os.execute". And you should quote the workspace name so
that the shell doesn't try to evaluate it:
exec("echo '" .. name .. "' | osd_cat
instead of
exec("echo " .. name .. " | osd_cat
Until I did that, it didn't show workspaces called foo<1> and
suchlike.
Now there's only one problem left: I use Xinerama, and osd_cat always
prints its stuff on the first monitor. Extremely irritating, if you're
switching workspaces on the _other_ monitor.
