Sorry guys, but currently it works for me - with current Gutsy and compiz desktop effects enabled, when I right click the workspace switcher and choose preferences I get a dialog that lets me change the number of columns and rows in my workspaces setup - and it works (at least the columns, I haven't tested more then one row - I don't like that).
At the time when that didn't work, I simply turned off desktop effects, used the workspace dialog to change the number of workspaces and turned desktop effects back on - and that kept the same number of workspaces that was set in the workspaces preference dialog when desktop effects was disabled. -- cannot set number or name of workspaces from workspace switcher applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129152 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
