Comment 17 for bug 155438

I have the same issue as Michal on Jaunty: each square on the workspace switcher represents a "desktop" with four "workspaces"; the desktops are reachable by clicking on the switcher whereas the workspaces are reachable by keyboard shortcuts. The behavior is completely different from that of the workspace switcher with "Visual Effects: Normal".

I get this behavior with /apps/compiz/general/screen0/options/number_of_desktops set to both 1 and 4.
