I disagree. I think disabling the scroll_workspaces feature is a good choice by default anyway, no matter what the panel-layout looks like. It can still lead to unexpected behavior because there is currently no direct visual feedback for this action. More advanced users can easily re-enable it. (There is a patch against xfwm4 upstream to enable an alt-tab like dialog for when navigating workspaces, which would be the appropriate feedback imo.) I don't see why we should disable virtual desktops altogether. They're still very accessible via the middle-click menu on the desktop and there are keyboard-combos as well as the context-menu of Xfwm4 which lets you go to other workspaces or move apps to other workspaces. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~ochosi/xubuntu-default-settings/xfwm4_disable_scrollevents/+merge/209545 Your team Xubuntu Developers is requested to review the proposed merge of lp:~ochosi/xubuntu-default-settings/xfwm4_disable_scrollevents into lp:xubuntu-default-settings. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
