Description John Airey 2001-07-11 12:40:35 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT; DigExt)

Description of problem:
I have upgraded successfully from RedHat 6.2 to RedHat 7.1. However, in 
Gnome I am unable to change the current desktop with deskguide no matter 
what settings I use.


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade from RedHat 6.2 to 7.1
2. Run Gnome non-root
3. Try any setting with deskguide
	

Actual Results:  No matter what the settings are, the deskguide still 
shows 1 row by 1 column.

Expected Results:  I expected to be able to continue using multiple 
desktops.

I am tearing my hair out with this as I normally use about four different 
desktops at a time.

I've now changed the default window manager from Sawfish to Enlightenment 
(which I'm sure was my default before). I can now get 2x2 windows, but again 
the properties do not change the settings. So although this is an adequate 
workaround, the bug is still there.

There's one other report of this for 7.1, but I haven't seen any reports in 7.2.
