Workspace Switcher does not display correctly

[Tyler R]

Workspace Switcher shows workspaces in a 1x4 (stacked one on top of the other) configuration when activated on a default 4 workspace Ubuntu install. When using the Workspace Switcher in Gnome Panel to change to 2x2, removing and adding Docky's Switcher respects that change until a logoff or reboot, which changes it back to 1x4.

I would like to see the default behavior for 4 workspaces be 2x2 or at least provide a preferences setting ala Gnome Panel's switcher.

Currently using Docky 2.1.0bzr r1615 on Ubuntu 10.04 with Metacity

This might be a bug. The switcher should display the layout as it is given by Metacity. The default layout should be 1 row with 4 columns, from your description I am unsure if that was what it showed.

If you use panel to change it to 2x2, the switcher should update to reflect that immediately and also on reboot. So that might be a bug.

Thanks for responding Robert,

I see a default of 1 column, 4 rows (opposite of what is default in Gnome panel and what you stated above). Also, when I change it in Gnome Panel to 2 rows, 2 columns, it changes in Docky only after I remove and re-add the docklet. Upon reboot or logoff/logon, it resets back to 1c 4r, regardless of if I left the Panel switcher on the panel or not. This behavior occurs on at least 2 different machines.

I believe this to be a bug too, can you reset the Importance to the appropriate level? Thanks.

Can we get this changed to a difference importance level? This is not a wishlist but a bug.
