Description Mike Massonnet editbugs 2005-12-22 17:04:09 CET
When I added the desktops into the taskbar (settings > taskbar > show the
desktops) my keyboard shortcut bindings were broken. But not all, only the
bindings which concern the desktops.
The default configuration was set again, for ctrl-alt-left/right I get to the
previous and next desktop (mine is "normally" set to left and right) and the
up/down doesn't work.

ps: I'm not sure for the english and espeacially for the options, sorry 

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. I have the desktops into the xfce-panel arranged in two lines
2. Opening taskbar settings and checking show desktops (and then it should occur)
3. The desktops was drawen horizontally, I didn't want it this way, so I removed
them
Actual Results:  
After this steps I was unable to use my personnal bindings for the desktops and
I'm unable to set them back through the window manager settings.

The graphical pager can now control the workspace layout. If you add it to the
taskbar in a single row, the workspaces are now in a single row.

You could probably fix it by adding a pager to the panel and changing the pager
properties to the number of rows (or columns) that you want.

I *really* think the pager should stop controlling the WS layout, and all of
that should be moved into the workspaces plugin.  It's terribly confusing as it is.
