[opensuse] Compiz_Fusion No# of desktops
Despite having all settings I can see set to 4 desktops it always shows 16 of them on the task bar which is a bit pointless and takes up almost the bar. If I stop CF it drops back to 4, any ideas what I could be missing, otherwise it's working fine on my 10.3 i386 machine.

Matthew same here.
To have 4 Desktops in compiz (after all, how many sides can you use on the cube for displaying your desktop?), I had to configure just one in compiz by right clicking on the desktop and choosing properties. I did not manage to have different desktop wallpapers in compiz, just the firest of my "normal" KDE is used. For me this allows me four "desktops" i.e. cube sides in compiz. After I disable compiz I am automatically back to my usual 4 KDE Desktops with a different background for each. Well, it's still kind of experimental, isn't it? kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Same here. Very annoying. Give "dcop kicker kicker restart" (KDE 3) a try. HTH Jan -- Garbage In -- Gospel Out. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Try Configure Desktop -> Multiple Desktops -> Number of desktops = 1. That's the solution I found either via google, docs or the Compiz wiki. If you want say, more than 4 desktops, start CompizConfig Settings Manager. General Options -> Desktop Size tab and change the Horizontal Virtual Size to 6.

Yep, but IIRC I had to do this every time I logged in. "dcop kicker kicker restart" should automate the manual configuration. Perhaps it is fixed now.
