Comment 14 for bug 826089

Confirmed in LTS 12.04 with "Classic" Gnome. Even if I use (right click / preferences) to set the workspace swticher to 8 workspaces in 2 rows, then next time I log in it is back to 2x2 grid with 1 workspace.

Need to set it every time I log in. Since Unity came out there has been a drive to make it more cell phone like -- harder to use to get work done. There is a cute little workspace switcher in Unity, but switching workspaces requires three clicks each time and it can only accommodate 4 workspaces -- very suboptimal compared with clicking once on the Gnome panel workspace swticher.

I haven't figured out where to set the default values for the Gnome workspace switcher in compiz, and the following code (which was offered in a forum) does not solve the problem either.

gconftool --type Integer --set /apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/vsize 8
gconftool --type Integer --set /apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/hsize 8
