I'm observing the same thing with Gnome 2.26.1. It's happened before and I can't recall how I fixed it. I'm adding this note because I've noticed some interesting behaviour.
If I change one of the 5 workspace names, then log out and back in again. the change IS REMEMBERED. But only for a few seconds. Once the desktop icons start being placed (it's quite an old machine so takes a few minutes to start a session) then the Workspace list refreshes and defaults to the Workspace 1 thru 5 defaults. Running Jaunty with everything up to date. -- Gnome does not remember new workspace names https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/363769 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
