there has been a discussion on the ayatana mailing list about that. It seems wrapping around doesn't fix all the design issues with workspaces. The workspace switcher will be revisited for oneiric though. You are welcome to continue the discussion on the ayatana mailing list, enable the option in ccsm (wall plugin) for your personal usage until then :)
Thanks a lot for this feedback, I'll mark the mail as opinion, but please feel free to dive into the ayatana mailing list archive :) ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: New => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772168 Title: Workspace switcher keyboard shortcuts do nothing when there is no workspace in the indicated direction -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
