Saving and restoring workspaces is an interesting idea that was discussed many times on this list, but it wouldn't currently work well because of the state of session saving, and would require quite some work.
Labeling workspaces would be nice for people using static workspaces (this existed with Metacity). But only dynamic ones are supported in the design, so I think you should make workspace labels an extension, or add it to the static workspaces extension if the author agrees. That's the best way to make this feature available, and to try it. Good luck! _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
