On my Ubuntu 8.10 laptop I can set the names of the 8 workspaces I use by right clicking and selecting preferences. Apparently this is dependent on not having Compiz and among other things the video card driver, in my case Nvidia.
The names of the workspaces only appear to last as long as the session does. They survive a suspend and resume ok but logging out and logging back in changes them back to the default of "Workspace 1" "Workspace 2" ... etc. I should point out that it DOES save my preference for the number of workspaces and the number of rows they appear in. For now my workaround is going by memory... ie "Workspace 2" is my web window, workspace 1 is my mail window. Has anyone else had this experience and/or found a workaround? Does it happen in 9.04? Does it happen in Fedora 11? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
