ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've dug up the commit that changed this behavior, and from the commit history
I've concluded that this change was made because one of the developers is using
touchpad gestures (are they even a thing on linux?) and wanted to make it feel
more natural for him... and now I can't use multiple desktops.
Commit hash: 00ae7d38
I've already tried contacting the person who made this change but I got no
response, so this bug tracker is the last hope for me I guess.
