How to reproduce ----- 1. gconftool-2 -s --type int /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces 20 2. CTRL+Alt+CURSOR-RIGHT at least once 3. crash
I have this too. I routinely have 21 workspaces on Fedora 12. After a new installation with Fedora 14 (but retaining the old /home) I got this problem. I had to use the gconftool-2 illustrated in this bug report to change it to 15 to stop the respeated crash.
I encountered this issue also on Fedora 14. I use Red Hat and Fedora for years through RHEL 5 & Fedora 10 with GNOME Desktop Sessions that have at least 18 to 24 Workspaces. I manage several RHEL Systems in Data Centers around the World. Hence, I have become extremely dependent on using several Workspaces. I would like to get a solution to this soon. If there is anything I can do to assist, then please let me know. I have a lot of Programming Experience.
I use gconf-editor and fill up the name_XX entries up to 24 by hand in: /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces IIRC one can run gconf-editor without a window manager.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
