Public bug reported:
On a new install of 8.04, I ran updates and installed a few packages that
shouldn't have any effect at all on the display.
The only thing I did related to the display was install the restricted driver
for my ATI Radeon X1600 (oh, and moved that one bar to the bottom, since I'm
used to Windows)
The scenario is this:
With "Appearance Preferences/Visual Effects" set to "None", I set there to be
two rows for a total of six workspaces (3 each - this should really use the
row/column like the other one)
Then I enabled Visual Effects (whether to Normal or Extra made no difference)
and it put all of my workspaces on a single row, using the top half of the
workspace display. When I set it to 2 rows of three columns, it compressed
everything to something really small - but not unclickable - crammed in the top
half of the display.
With some experimentation I determined:
The number of columns has no effect whatsoever.
If more than two rows are used when Virtual Effects are off, then when they are
turned on the new rows are compressed into the corresponding fraction of
available space.
To workaround, turn Virtual Effects off and set all workspaces to one
row, then turn them on again and arrange as desired.
