This bug is very old and I was not able to reproduce it with Ubuntu 10.04. Therefore I am closing it. If this is still an issue for anyone with Ubuntu 10.04, please open a new bug.

[Bug 116807] Re: Number of rows of desktops forgotten if no switcher on panel
A further thought occurred to me while attempting to explain this to someone at 1am over a cheese sandwich. The EWMH doesn't actually say that the switcher decides the workspace layout. What it says is that _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT (which is what decides the number of rows) must only be set by the switcher and never by the window manager. So if the switcher isn't on the panel, and hasn't been since we started, _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT won't be set on a screen at all. Now suppose we started up and found that this wasn't so... well, perhaps the panel hadn't started, so we'd set a timer and come back to the matter a second or so later, and if it still hadn't, we could fish the number of rows out of gconf and pretend we'd read it instead. The trouble with this, though, is that the number of rows is stored as a property of the applet, so we'd need somewhere else to keep it for this one particular case. -- Number of rows of desktops forgotten if no switcher on panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116807 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 116807] Re: Number of rows of desktops forgotten if no switcher on panel
I would like to finish dealing with this bug from Metacity's point of view. We have two options here: 1) We can say that this is an invalid bug, because the EWMH says that the switcher decides the workplace layout, and if you remove the switcher, you won't have a workplace layout. Then we can close this bug. 2) We can say that the EWMH is actually wrong, or at least that we're going to work around it here, and get Metacity to go and do this part of the switcher's job for it if the switcher isn't present. (I can't really see this being accepted upstream, but it could be an Ubuntu- specific patch.) We could also try and get the EWMH changed. It is rather infelicitous that a visible widget is tied to a desktop function in this way. -- Number of rows of desktops forgotten if no switcher on panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116807 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 116807] Re: Number of rows of desktops forgotten if no switcher on panel
This is a matter for the workspace switcher to decide. Metacity merely uses the setting that's set in the workspace switcher.

This bug was nominated for Gutsy but does currently not qualify for a 7.10 stable release update (SRU) and the nomination is therefore declined. According the the SRU policy, the fix should already be deployed and tested in the current development version before an update to the stable releases will be considered. With 7.10 now released, that policy applies to this bug.

[Bug 116807] Re: Number of rows of desktops forgotten if no switcher on panel
No, that other bug is desktop-effects doing something wrong, this bug is about compiz and the workspace switcher applet not playing nice together. This bug is marked as critical because it's considered a blocker for having compiz enabled by default in gutsy. The other bug is not considered critical because in feisty compiz was considered experimental and the desktop-effects tool will be replaced in gutsy so it won't affect us. -- Number of rows of desktops forgotten if no switcher on panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116807 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug may be in error, it seems that if you use viewports, compiz DOES remember the size (hsize and vsize) and the problem is just that the switcher is setting up the wrong things, and doesn't support compiz correctly -- Number of rows of desktops forgotten if no switcher on panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116807 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
