[Bug 74767] Re: Use workspaces instead of viewports by default
The problem with using workspaces with compiz is that no one else does, upstream or any distro. We would essentially be maintaining this part of compiz ourself. It has several (odd) bugs that we certainly do not have time to work on for gutsy. Also many effects are only available when you use viewports, such as the sliding animation. This is not a bad thing though, GNOME has gotten much better at working with viewports. The only things I can think of that don't work are dragging windows in the workspace switcher and scrolling through viewports with the mouse wheel in the workspace switcher. -- Use workspaces instead of viewports by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74767 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 74767] Re: Use workspaces instead of viewports by default
Travis (Watkins): compiz may have used workspaces in the default config when you made that comment, but it seems to use viewports now (in Gutsy). Almost nothing in Gnome handles viewports directly (eg, task switcher applet (because of libwnck), Workspace switcher applet). So if you turn on the Desktop Plane Compiz plugin and set up key bindings, those bindings switch viewports within your existing workspace. Yet dragging windows between workspaces in the Workspace switcher applet moves them between workspaces, not viewports. This disconnection is confusing at best. If Compiz had the ability to use workspaces 6 months ago, is it possible to just make that the current default? Is that configuration option still available and functional? -- Use workspaces instead of viewports by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74767 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

0.3.4 still exhibits this behaviour, although I 0.3.4 can now actually do workspaces. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- Use workspaces instead of viewports by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/74767 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have my setup to CRT+TV with an Nvidia 7800GT card. Compiz has since I activated this not worked.

[Bug 74767] Re: Use workspaces instead of viewports by default
Compiz 3.4 behaves a lot better - to the point where it's the workspace switcher that appears to be broken, especially when Compiz is set to only one viewport but four workspaces. -- Use workspaces instead of viewports by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/74767 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It should still be possible to configure viewports, as I do know what I'm doing, and hate Metacity's workspace model. -- Use workspaces instead of viewports by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/74767 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
