i have xubuntu 11.04, and i hade the same problem:
- i start with 4 workspaces
- then i open the configuration dialog and add 2 more workspaces
- then i logout
- after one or two logins/logouts, thw workspace count goes back to 4
looking up in the xfwm4.xml i found this:
...
<property name="workspace_count" type="int" value="4"/>
<property name="workspace_names" type="array">
<value type="string" value="1"/>
<value type="string" value="2"/>
<value type="string" value="3"/>
<value type="string" value="4"/>
<value type="string" value="5"/>
<value type="string" value="6"/>
</property>
....
so, is only the property "workspace_count" that has problems, i can edit
this file by hand an set it to 6 but after some logins, it comes back to
4.
also, i'v downloaded xfmw4-4.8.0 source code (from the xfce4 site), and
compiled the executable (i added some logging messages to see where the
"workspace_count" property is being read).
i've found that in the case when i login and the property goes from 4 to
6, the callback cb_xfwm4_channel_property_changed() is called many
times after initSettings(), with different values for property
workspace_count, jumping from 4 to 6, to 4 again (i've counted almost 26
calls), and the last one set the workspace_count to 4.
so, maybe the bug is in xfconfd or something...
excuse my english
