hey guys, i don't know if you have seen this yet, but you can disable dynamic-workspaces. there is an extension(s) for gnome-shell, designed to provide a more gnome2-like experience. the extensions deal with various complaints quite popular on this list (icons in panel, static-workspaces,etc). so you can for sure have static workspaces, no problem. i recommend that you have a look; http://intgat.tigress.co.uk/rmy/extensions/index.html I think you may find these useful, i think i remember reading that you could install individual components of this, instead of everything. ie: if you only want the static-workspaces, i think you can do that, the link above is the author's page, but i believe that an article on this is also found elsewhere. jordan
