Description Michael McConachie 2000-11-22 15:48:34 UTC
In the Workspaces configuration window of Gnome Control Center, how about
adding a little bit of explanation to differentiate between Workspaces and
Viewports?  Something as minor as placing "Split each workspace into
viewports" between the Workspaces field and the Columsna dn Rows fields
should to it.

This would help make it more obvious that workspaces are a collection of
viewports.

This is actually a sawfish problem, since the Sawfish capplet is contained in
that package. Just shuffling over.

Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2001-02-08 23:19:59 UTC
Sure, sounds fine. This isn't the kind of thing we usually put in Red Hat
specific patches, but I've mentioned the issue to the upstream maintainers of
Sawfish.

Cool 'nuf. Thanks.

Comment 4 Havoc Pennington 2001-07-06 02:50:58 UTC
Hmm, we've been discussing this issue recently. Consensus is that having both
workspaces and viewports is a hopelessly braindamaged idea from a user interface
standpoint.

Anyhow, closing the RH bug, since it's been suggested upstream and will
hopefully get addressed there.
