Comment 40 for bug 129152

Well, apparently something's still wrong in Ubuntu Gutsy (Sysinfo shows lenny/sid release). I had previously uninstalled all compiz packages from my laptop. (Bad idea, as I later learned.) I reinstalled compiz-gnome and compiz-config-settings-manager with all their dependencies. All uninstallation and reinstallation was done via Synaptic Package Manager.

After installation, Visual Effects were as they were prior to my uninstallation - None. I can switch among workspaces with <CTRL><ALT><right arrow> and <CTRL><ALT><left arrow>. Right clicking on a taskbar button provides the option to move the app Right and/or left as appropriate or to a particular workspace.

When I set Visual Effects to Normal, any apps running in workspaces other than 1 are moved to workspace 1. If there are multiple occurrences of the same app, all but one are terminated. <CTRL><ALT><right arrow> and <CTRL><ALT><left arrow> do nothing.

In both cases, all settings are the same in gconf-editor and compiz-config-settings-manager: In gconf-editor, apps/metacity/num-workspaces=3. In apps/compiz/screen0/options, hsize=3, vsize=1, number_of_desktops=1. In compiz-config-settings-manager (System|Preferences|Advanced Desktop Effect Settings), Horizontal Virtual Size=3, Vertical Virtual Size=1, Number of Desktops=1.

What am I missing here?
