Confirmed in LTS 12.04 with "Classic" Gnome. Even if I use (right click / preferences) to set the workspace swticher to 8 workspaces in 2 rows, then next time I log in it is back to 2x2 grid with 1 workspace.
Need to set it every time I log in. Since Unity came out there has been a drive to make it more cell phone like -- harder to use to get work done. There is a cute little workspace switcher in Unity, but switching workspaces requires three clicks each time and it can only accommodate 4 workspaces -- very suboptimal compared with clicking once on the Gnome panel workspace swticher. I haven't figured out where to set the default values for the Gnome workspace switcher in compiz, and the following code (which was offered in a forum) does not solve the problem either. gconftool --type Integer --set /apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/vsize 8 gconftool --type Integer --set /apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/hsize 8 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/826089 Title: gnome-shell writes to ~/.gconf/apps/metacity/general & affects Workspaces shown in unity-2d To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/826089/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
