Description David Shochat 2002-10-19 20:44:28 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

Description of problem:
When running the GNOME desktop with sawfish as the WM, I get one 
workspace by default in the Workspace Switcher. I can easily change 
this using Workspace Switcher Preferences to 4, say, but once I log out and then
back in again, it is back to 1. Checking "save current setup" when logging out
does not help. When using metacity, everything 
works properly (the # of worspaces is remembered across logins).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.0-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run sawfish window manager under GNOME.
2. Set the number of workspaces to 4 using Workspace Switcher Preferences.
3. Log out
4. Log back in

Actual Results:  Only 1 workspace in the Desktop Switcher applet.

Expected Results:  4 workspaces.

Additional info:
The Workspace Switcher functions properly, once the desired # workspaces has 
been set (again!).
Workarounds:
1. Don't use sawfish (metacity doesn't have this problem).
2. Fix the number of workspaces every time you log in (annoying).
