Description Ian Macdonald 2003-03-28 21:54:36 UTC

these are reset to Workspace 1, Workspace 2, etc. upon logging out and starting
a new session

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add workspace switcher to panel
2. Rename workspaces
3. Log out and back in
    
Actual results:

Renamed workspace names should be persistent.

What window manager? Can you give me the bug # of your earlier report?
Comment 2 Ian Macdonald 2003-03-29 00:00:06 UTC 
The old bug was #84978 and the window manager is your very own Metacity.
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2003-03-29 00:08:16 UTC 
OK, marking duplicate. There's no need to have two bugs (the version it was
filed against isn't really that relevant, as long as the bug is still open).

gconftool-2 -R /apps/metacity/workspace_names
shows the persistent data, fwiw. If there are names in there other than 
blank values it would be good to know.
