I would like to finish dealing with this bug from Metacity's point of view. We have two options here:
1) We can say that this is an invalid bug, because the EWMH says that the switcher decides the workplace layout, and if you remove the switcher, you won't have a workplace layout. Then we can close this bug. 2) We can say that the EWMH is actually wrong, or at least that we're going to work around it here, and get Metacity to go and do this part of the switcher's job for it if the switcher isn't present. (I can't really see this being accepted upstream, but it could be an Ubuntu- specific patch.) We could also try and get the EWMH changed. It is rather infelicitous that a visible widget is tied to a desktop function in this way. -- Number of rows of desktops forgotten if no switcher on panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116807 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
