Hi folks,
I've been doing some investigating and maybe you already know this but
in libwnck in screen.c the function update_workspace_list this always
sets n_space to 1 without printing my warning. From my understanding
this goes all the way to compiz land which hacks the workspaces to
always be set to one.
n_spaces = 0;
if (!_wnck_get_cardinal (screen->priv->xroot,
_wnck_atom_get ("_NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS"),
&n_spaces)) {
fprintf(stderr, "WARNING WARNING could not get Atom
_NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS, setting n_spaces to 1\n");
n_spaces = 1;
}
Because of this the method wnck_screen_get_workspace_count will always return 1
and therefore also workspace_at_point will return 1 and the move will then fail
because we're moving from workspace 1 to workspace 1.
What I can understand this is the same reason bug #150443 fails.
The strange thing is that the drawer somehow can figure out how many
workspaces there really is - why this is so I couldn't find but I
suspect that it checks some gconf values because of the rows thing.
Maybe someone who knows a little bit more about compiz internal can
explain why _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS is set to 1?
