SurfahBoy808 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm using KDE with xgl and compiz but for some reason, I can't create multiple desktops. In the section, put the number 4, but when I hit ok, it just stays as 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchancock Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 This option has to be changed with the compiz config thingy. Doesn't it come with 4 desktops by default? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) this is a known bug, i'm having it too. I found a fixed kicker for it somewhere (kicker-compiz), just don't remember where...

dexter11 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 You have multiple desktops just press Ctrl+Alt+Left\Right and you can see them. It's just compiz doesn't work with the KDE desktop changer applet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurfahBoy808 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 I didn't realize it, but I guess there are 4 desktops by default. I'm just so accustomed to having 4 desktops that I can change the wallpaper for each. But I'm loving the cube, and the alt+ctrl + up that gives you that mac like feature. Pulling and stretching windows like a rubberband was a trip to. I dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurfahBoy808 Posted October 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 (edited) well, my goofing around has lead me how to create 4 desktops like before. However, this disables compiz. I'm actually in the process of figuring out how to config it back to the cube. but, for those who don't like the cube and like the traditional 4+ desktop look. first I went to /etc/kde/kdm then opened up the backgroundrc file with an editor. There's a line that says MultiWallpaperMode=NoMulti but I switched it to MultiWallpaperMode=Multi restarted KDE and all of a sudden I have the default 4 desktops now. http://www2.hawaii.edu/~gmorales/desktops.jpg however, be aware that typing "NoMulti" back in the file doesn't bring back the cube. I have to reconfigure compiz. Edited October 25, 2006 by SurfahBoy808 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
