Ok. When I posted my first comment https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/60022/comments/2 I was mistaken because I have two edgy machines. One *has* four desktops I named myself as "Dev | Web | Mail | IRC". I upgraded a *different* machine however. That one now only has two workspaces and they are named "Desk 1" and "Desk 2".
I realised my mistake and posted https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/60022/comments/3 . However I have now upgraded the first machine that had four desktops and it has indeed dropped to two. So I have lost the two workspaces and their repective labels. If I choose 'preferences' from the context menu for the workspace switcher I can of course increase the number - but they get the names "workspace 3" "workspace 4". So my point kinda still stands. The number of workspaces I had was set at four and they had names, now there's two and the names of my others have been lost. My current production laptop which is still running dapper has 8 desktops in use all day. So when I upgrade to edgy (in the current state) I will lose 6 of them and the names will be gone. Yeah, minor thing of course, I can add them back in. But I don't think I should have to. Just because the developer thinks 2 workspaces is enough shouldn't force me to use 2 after an upgrade when I had a different number before hand? There is also the inconsistency that on one machine the workspaces are called "Desk 1" and "Desk 2" yet on my other machine when I increase the number of workspaces they're called "Workspace 3" and "Workspace 4". Hope that all makes some kind of sense. -- [edgy] Number of workspaces / desktops reduced to 2 https://launchpad.net/bugs/60022 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
