Workspace switcher shows only one row instead of three

This is working fine for me with Jaunty, could you please try the same with a new user created on your system? thanks.

It looks like 2.26 Workspace Switcher doesn't work well w/ Compiz (compiz 0.8.2).

If Compiz's Desktop Size > 1, then only one row is shown in the Workspace Switcher. If Desktop Size == 1 then Workspace Switcher's row configuration works as expected - multi-rowed, cube-like display of workspaces.

Also, 2.26 seems to have regress functionality-wise. 2.24.1 offered the ability to name the workspaces; 2.26 does not. Is this intentional? Is so, why?

(Perdo: New users default to 1 desktop. That's likely why it works for you.)

Sorry, I forgot to mention it: Yes, it works with a new user created, e.g. with a 2x2 grid *and* compiz enabled.

Could you delete your configuration then and try again? that's probably due to a broken configuration due to the upgrade, lot of things change between one release and other and you might expect things like this. please test and give us feedback.

I completely uninstalled Compiz including deleteing configuration directories/files. I then reinstalled. Same problem - if Compiz's Desktop Size > 1, then only one row is shown in the Workspace Switcher.

What further information can I provide? Is anyone seeing the Compiz Desktop Size correlation?

What about the 2.24.1 vs. 2.26 Workspace Switcher naming feature?

Would you please tell me which files I should delete?

As stated by Christoph on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libwnck/+bug/374882/comments/5 this is working fine for him with a new user, not a bug but a configuration issue.

Pedro: I'm confused. Sure it works w/ a new user, but it's likely that Compiz's Desktop Size == 1, the default. If you change that > 1, it doesn't work, new or existing user. So, why is this issue invalid?

Sorry, Pedro I can't follow your argumentation! If a previously correct configuration becomes wrong after upgrading I consider this as a bug. I'd still really appreciate a hint which configuration files I should delete to correct the mistake. I found the following two files:

chris@lotus:~$ cat .gconf/apps/panel/applets/workspace_switcher_screen0/prefs/%gconf.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
 <entry name="display_workspace_names" mtime="1147172120" schema="/schemas/apps/workspace_switcher_applet/prefs/display_workspace_names"/>
 <entry name="display_all_workspaces" mtime="1147172120" schema="/schemas/apps/workspace_switcher_applet/prefs/display_all_workspaces"/>
 <entry name="num_rows" mtime="1242219400" schema="/schemas/apps/workspace_switcher_applet/prefs/num_rows" type="int" value="3"/>
</gconf>
chris@lotus:~$ cat .gconf/schemas/apps/workspace_switcher_applet/prefs/%gconf.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
        <entry name="display_workspace_names" mtime="1230726866" schema="/schemas/apps/workspace_switcher_applet/prefs/display_workspace_names"/>
        <entry name="display_all_workspaces" mtime="1230726866" schema="/schemas/apps/workspace_switcher_applet/prefs/display_all_workspaces"/>
        <entry name="num_rows" mtime="1230726866" schema="/schemas/apps/workspace_switcher_applet/prefs/num_rows"/>
</gconf>

BTW: Pedro is right, I tested it. So, please change the status of this bug.

Best
Christoph

Great mistake!

s/Pedro is right/cwall is right/

Ok, Let's leave it to the developers to have a look then.

Thanks, Pedro!

Hey there, had the same problem as Christoph!
Also a new user worked correctly.

I fixed the problem then simply by removing the Workspace Switcher from the panel and adding it again.

Tell me if this works for you too...
