Greetings. I have tried a from-scratch installation of Fedora 13, using the DVD iso downloaded from the Fedora website on Saturday 10 July (therefore recent). I chose the standard Gnome (not Compiz) desktop. I work with several workspaces. Using Debian 4.0 (Etch) and Debian 5.0 (Lenny) I have 20 workspaces in Gnome with no problem. After installation and initial setup, I logged in to Gnome on the new Fedora 13, and using the Preferences menu for the workspaces switcher I increased the number of workspaces from the initial 2. At increasing numbers, I was able to switch between workspaces using either the mouse (left-click), or Ctrl-Alt-<Left>/<Right> on the keyboard. I took it up to 18 workspaces, still no problem. Then I took it up to 20, my usual number. At this point, the workspace-switcher became surrounded by a dashed-line frame, it was impossible to switch between workspaces by any means, and the facility to change the number of workspaces in the workspace Preferences menu had disappeared. The situation was still the same after rebooting. A friend of mine, after I emailed him about this, installed Fedora 13 in one of his virtual machines, and reported the same problem. This was using his own download, not mine. When I later installed a Debian 5.0 (Lenny) on my machine, over-writing the Fedora 13 insttalation, I got 20 workspaces as usual. with no problem. Therefore it would seem that there is a substantial bug in Gnome in Fedora 13. Has anyone else experienced this? What do the Fedora people say about it? With thanks, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <Ted.Harding@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 094 0861 Date: 16-Jul-10 Time: 15:20:52 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
