Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

Recent installation of Gutsy running continuously since update from Feisty:
victor@ss07:~$ [1] uptime
 15:23:08 up 5 days, 16 min, 9 users, load average: 2.10, 1.02, 0.88

Ran System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual, changed from None to Extra. Played with the pretty windows for a minute.
Issue 1: _all_ currently open windows are moved to Desktop 1. (I have 5 Desktops)
Not a problem, I thought: move each to its proper Desktop using the Workspace Switcher. But:
Issue 2: Dragging window on the Workspace Switcher has no effect.
(Issue 3: "Workspace Switcher" is not recognised in the package dialog of this bug-report screen)

Hi Victor
Is this reproducible without desktop effects activated, that's it set to None?

Thanks in advance

Hi Basilio, thanks for the quick followup

> Is this reproducible without desktop effects activated, that's it set to None?

No, the behaviour when Visual Effects is None is correct.
But if Visual Effects is set to either Normal or Extra, then the
switcher's drag functionality does not work.

Let me know if there is any more info I can provide.

regards

victor

Hi Victor
Thanks for the confirmation, this is a compiz related issue rather than gnome-panel, so I'm changing the package according to this.

Thanks for the update. I see there are half a dozen 'duplicates' of
#63028 and I get the relationship to 2 or 3 of them although I am not
using the cube effects. Nothing more to add at this point.
