I just noticed that I cannot change the 'number > of desktops' either, but I get the same result with 'horizontal virtual size'. I can change horizontal virtual size and the switcher applet shows me more desktops but clicking on it doesn't switch desktop.

This is set in the Expo prefs. Expo plugin works and now I can change desktop. At last I found rotate plugin had to be enabled to get the desktop switcher applet to work and this plugin wasn't enabled because I didn't check "rotate cube" in ccsm.

I had to struggle to get normal things like windows to move or decoration when I first tried it out and I had to check the web to find answers to have a usable configuration. -- Leonardo Canducci -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
