[opensuse] gnome workspace switcher
I installed openSUSE 11.4 last week, starting from scratch. So far, the system was running without error or problems. Today I rebooted and noticed the workspace switcher is not working beyond the one active window. I do not see my "blank" workspaces on the task bar. When I right click on a running application, I used to see "move to workspace on the right" plus other options related to workspaces. Now, those options are gone and I get the standard minimize, resize... If I right-click on the single workspace in the task bar, I can change my Workspace Switcher preferences (so it must be running), and increase the number of workspaces to 4, but nothing happens and the change isn't saved. If I right-click again, it is back to "Workspaces 1". Thank you for your help with this.

Hi Mike, This presents an interesting case as I just installed 11.4 GNOME-only 'from scratch' last week, too. (For some reason I've always installed at least both KDE and GNOME since probably 8.2) In any case, my updater applet is working, all the packages are up to date and I'm extremely pleased. Oh, yeah ... my workspace switcher is working flawlessly, too. :-) If you send me, privately, the output of 'rpm -qa --last > ~/Desktop/rpmlist.txt' I'll diff the GNOME stuff for starters. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
