[OpenIndiana-discuss] worspace switcher preferences

[Udo Grabowski (IMK)]

Hi,
the workspace switcher prefs are available via gconf-editor

apps/panel/profiles/default/applets/workspace-switcher/prefs

Because the number and names of the workspaces is a function
of the window manager, not the applet that just displays them,
those prefs have to be set via gconf-editor

apps/metacity/general
apps/metacity/workspace_names
