It surprised me, too, because the symptoms described in Bug 423493 only partly matched my experience (spin buttons were not active, but the values were set to 2, not 0), and that's why I filed a separate bug report.
Before the update Without desktop effects enabled, if I right-clicked on the workspace switcher applet and went into the preferences, there was a section to set number of workspaces. The spin buttons were indeed disabled as described in Bug 423493, but I was still able to type the number 4 into the textbox. However, the workspace switcher applet still showed only two workspaces and when I would open the prefs again it did not show 4, but the default 2. After the update The spin buttons were active and I could change the number of workspaces by using them or by typing a number into the textbox and hitting the tab key. gconf-editor now shows a 4 for the hsize key under apps/compiz/general/screen0/options. This issue is definitely resolved for me now. -- unable to set more than default 2 workspaces/viewports https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/426989 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
