OK, that option wasn't checked. When I check it it works as I'd like!!
In my defense I can't say it obvious that it should be checked! (Some
'tooltips' for these options would be great - I looked at the docs and
they weren't much use).

Thanks very much for your help, and sorry I wasted your time.

Matt

Is "wrap workspaces depending on the actual desktop layout" checkbox
enabled ? (on window manager tweaks). If I uncheck this, I can't cycle
workspaces, that's right (and it's not a bug, though).

Can you try this an report ?

Yes I have a pager in the panel, and I have that option checked.

This is a machine used to run version 4.2 of xfce, before the new 4.4
deb packages came along. Could there be something lurking in my
preferences that is messing it up? If its easy to rename my current
preferences I'll do that, otherwise I'll create a new account and see
if it works for that. I'll also try updating my (Intel Pent M) laptop
(which I've kept on 4.2 because of this and bug 380480) to see if its
just a AMD64 issue.

Thanks for your help,

Matt

Yes, but I can't reproduce. If I use a single row with 6 workspaces,
when I'm on the 6th workspace and my pointer reaches the right edge, it
wraps to workspace 1. This is with "wrap workspaces when the first or
last worskace is reached" in the "Worskpaces" tabs in "Window Manager
Tweaks" setting.

Do you use a pager in the panel ?

I can only reproduce this using "Wrap workspaces when the pointer
reaches a screen edge" (in Window manager settings, Advanced tabs", when
my workspaces are using two rows.

If all workspaces are on a row, it works. Can you confirm that you're
using multiple workspaces rows ?

What I guess it that (currently) when the pointer reaches the right edge
it's interpreted as "go to right workspace" and not (as it seems you
want to, and as it seems was the default on 4.2) as "go to next
workspace".

Did I've correctly interpreted your thoughts ?

Hmmm. I'm using a single row of 6 workspaces. When I reach the left
hand edge of the 1st workspace or the right hand edge of the 6th
workspace, it does not wrap me to the 6th or the 1st workspace
respectively. (Going to the left of 2nd workspace takes me to 1st
workspace, right of 2nd takes me to 3rd, etc, etc). This wrapping
behaviour for the 1st & last workspaces is different to version 4.2
which does wrap from 1st to last and last to 1st at the left and right
hand edges of 1st and last workspaces respectively.

(i.e. thinking about workspace numbers in version 4.2 they form a
circle with the user in the middle:

   1
 6   2
 5   3
   4

and in version 4.4 a line:

1 2 3 4 5 6

)

Does that make my ramblings a bit more clearer?

Thanks,

Matt

Bug#380483: xfwm4: Cannot change from first to last workspace by moving mouse

2006-07-30 Thread matt . nottingham

Package: xfwm4
Version: 4.3.90.2-1

I do not seem able to move from first to the last workspace (or
vis-versa) by moving the mouse. I have the "Wrap workspaces when the
first or last workspace is reached" option checked in "window manager
tweaks" -> Workspaces panel which I assume provides the functionality
that I described above (and is the default in 4.2.3.2-2).

This is with a uname of

Linux linux64 2.6.17.6 #1 Sun Jul 16 09:47:03 BST 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux

on a Debian AMD64 unstable machine.

Thanks,

Matt Nottingham
