It also pushes the clock to the left, such that the least significant digit of the munites is not visible. This is a configuration option. Open the Sawfish capplet and go to the Desktops section. There you can select whether to stop/cycle/continue when going past the last workspace. You have "continue" set; select "cycle" for the behavior you want. Also, you *can* remove workspaces. It works fine for me by resetting them in the capplet. However, the capplet does not seem to notice when you add a workspace by moving a window to another workspace in the "continue" mode described above. Havoc, I guess we can mark this as notabug. I don't think autocreate should be our default setting. "stop" is the right default IMO. I upgraded to the new sawfish-1.0.1-1 (RawHide) and found this option (which is found in the "Workspaces" capplet). Note that "Meta" -> "Options for" has to be set to "expert users" for this option to be present. Thus the correct resolution marking might be "RawHide". I don't think the option was present in my sawfish-0.38-11, although I am not sure, as a downgrade I did to check it corrupted my sawfish capplets. It could be that I never turned on the "expert" options at the same time as checking the "Workspaces" capplet. In conclusion, the bug can be closed, marked as "RawHide" if sawfish-1.0.1-1 is needed, or "Notabug" if not. I think the default should be "wrap-around" or "stop" for both settings. 1.0.1-5 should disable this by default, though for people who've touched the setting it may remain enabled of course. |
Description of Problem: When selecting "Send window to" -> "[Previous|Next] Workspace" (topleft corner menu) when in the [first|last] workspace, a new (in my case fifth) workspace is created, which extends the applet in the panel to 5 workspaces. The new workspace seems impossible to remove without logging out and starting a new session, even when entering the configuration and selecting 4 workspaces. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sawfish-0.38-11 gdm-2.2.3.1-20 How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start gdm 2. Log in 3. Bring up a window 4. Select "Send Window to"->"Previous workspace" Actual Results: New workspace created as described above Expected Results: Windows sent to last workspace ("wrapping around" to the last) Additional Information:
