From b63fc3acbe9a28c9f9987af7d5236afa5ebdefe6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Florian=20M=C3=BCllner?= <fmuell...@gnome.org> Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2012 20:15:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] screen: Ignore num-workspaces when using dynamic workspaces On startup, workspaces are initialized according to the num-workspaces preference. However when using dynamic workspaces, the actual number of workspaces in use might be greater than the preference (when replacing the window manager), forcing windows on those workspaces to the first workspace. To fix, ignore the preference completely when using dynamic workspaces and try to restore the previous number of workspaces (as read from _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS). https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=685439 --- src/core/screen.c | 25 ++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/core/screen.c b/src/core/screen.c index b9c5e05..3914ae1 100644 --- a/src/core/screen.c +++ b/src/core/screen.c @@ -1464,7 +1464,30 @@ update_num_workspaces (MetaScreen *screen, MetaWorkspace *last_remaining; gboolean need_change_space; - new_num = meta_prefs_get_num_workspaces (); + if (meta_prefs_get_dynamic_workspaces ()) + { + int n_items; + gulong *list; + + n_items = 0; + list = NULL; + + if (meta_prop_get_cardinal_list (screen->display, screen->xroot, + screen->display->atom__NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS, + &list, &n_items)) + { + new_num = list[0]; + meta_XFree (list); + } + else + { + new_num = 1; + } + } + else + { + new_num = meta_prefs_get_num_workspaces (); + } g_assert (new_num > 0); -- 1.7.12.1
