Description Christopher R. Curzio 2005-09-13 19:34:18 CEST
Basically I'm looking to customize the layout of desktop workspaces. It seems
the only available option is one row of four desktops. I'd like to be able to
have a 2x2 block of workspaces.

It'd also be nice to be able to customize the shortcut key(s) for switching
workspaces. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

This is done via the preferences for the graphical pager on the panel.  This is
a WM feature, btw, not xfdesktop.
Comment 2 Christopher R. Curzio 2005-09-13 22:10:58 CEST
I wouldn't mark this invalid just yet, since this ability does not exist in the
taskbar pager. 
Comment 3 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2005-09-13 23:33:41 CEST
No, not the taskbar pager.  The panel's "Graphical Pager".  I'm going to
reassign this to the WM, since this is really a WM feature.  We might want to
add this as a WM settings option rather than in a panel plugin.  I'd rather let
Olivier deal with this ^_^.

Roger that. I understood what you said about the panel's pager doing so. I tried
it and found that it is possible (didn't know that!), though I keep my pager in
the taskbar. It seems only reasonable that the functionality should be
consistent. Thanks.

That's really not a WM feature since xfwm4 already supports different desktops
layouts. It's the pager.
Comment 6 Harold Aling 2007-09-23 18:19:42 CEST
The pager does support multiple rows...

Closing this as 'fixed'...
