@darinlh: If you're using kwin, you need to change the workspace settings through that. The window manager is what takes care of the workspaces, so what you're trying to do can't possibly work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787934 Title: Number of workspaces in Xubuntu resets to one To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/787934/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is a rather old bug and there seems to be no indication that it affects currently supported Xubuntu releases (especially 14.04 and newer). ** Changed in: xfwm4 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787934 Title: Number of workspaces in Xubuntu resets to one To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/787934/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

While waiting for a fix, the workaround below is working for me. I have created a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/ with the field: Exec=bash -c "sleep 3 && xfconf-query -v -c xfwm4 -p /general/workspace_count -s 2" It simply resets the number of workspaces to 2 at every login. Just replace "2" with the number you want. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787934 Title: Number of workspaces in Xubuntu resets to one To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/787934/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 787934] Re: Number of workspaces in Xubuntu resets to one
i have xubuntu 11.04, and i hade the same problem: - i start with 4 workspaces - then i open the configuration dialog and add 2 more workspaces - then i logout - after one or two logins/logouts, thw workspace count goes back to 4 looking up in the xfwm4.xml i found this: ... so, is only the property "workspace_count" that has problems, i can edit this file by hand an set it to 6 but after some logins, it comes back to 4. also, i'v downloaded xfmw4-4.8.0 source code (from the xfce4 site), and compiled the executable (i added some logging messages to see where the "workspace_count" property is being read). i've found that in the case when i login and the property goes from 4 to 6, the callback cb_xfwm4_channel_property_changed() is called many times after initSettings(), with different values for property workspace_count, jumping from 4 to 6, to 4 again (i've counted almost 26 calls), and the last one set the workspace_count to 4. so, maybe the bug is in xfconfd or something... excuse my english -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787934 Title: Number of workspaces in Xubuntu resets to one To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfwm4/+bug/787934/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please attach the ~/.xsession-errors log file after it fails to start both workspaces.
