Xubuntu keeps resetting workspace count to 1

  • 772

I've just installed Xubuntu 11.04 on my netbook and I'm noticing a problem with the workspace setup. If I log in, I see there's only one workspace specified. If I load the 'Workspaces' control panel widget and alter it to 4, this works fine until I reboot and log in again, at which point the number of workspaces is reset to 1.

How do I get XFCE4 to remember my workstation number preference?

  1. Please check this file:
    ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfwm4.xml

    It is where the numbers of workspaces are defined in xfce.

  2. Ensure you own the ".config/xfce4/xfconf" directory, and that you have the right permission on it:

    sudo chown -R YOUR_USER:YOUR_GROUP .config/xfce4/xfconf

chmod -R 755 .config/xfce4/xfconf

    Substitute YOUR_USER:YOUR_GROUP with your user and group (eg. "growse:growse")
