Hi all!
How can I programmatically change the virtual desktop names of Xfce while Xfce
is running? I'd like to write a script to initialise desktops 1-8 with names
that I define in case they get reset.
The background for that is that I configured desktops 1-8 with the names that
I've assigned and that I am used to, and then tried to run it with Compiz
Fusion, which didn't work too well (due to problems with my radeon/Mandriva-
Cooker setup). After I disabled Compiz, the number of virtual desktops in Xfce
was assigned to 1, and when I increased it, their names were not preserved.
BTW, thanks for Xfce! I've been using it when KDE 4 is too unusable (due to
the fact that Mandriva Cooker includes a pre-release version of it), and it
seems more usable than IceWM, less annoying than GNOME, and fast. What I could
use now is a different background/wallpaper per virtual desktop feature (which
I may opt to work on myself, assuming there is general acceptance that it
would be a desirable feature).
Regards,
