Description Sven Arvidsson 2006-06-17 01:50:17 UTC 
This report was filed in the Debian BTS.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=325350

It seems like the workspace switcher only saves the number of workspaces for Metacity, giving users of other window managers problems. Maybe the preferences could be made visible only when running Metacity?

(For more details, see the Debian bug)

We can either disable the dialog or do the changes ourselves. Second option is probably better.
Comment 2 Vincent Untz 2006-08-08 14:24:55 UTC 
Might also somewhat be related to bug 109640.
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2007-02-20 12:35:36 UTC 
wm-common.c in control-center has some code to know the current window manager. (And maybe libwnck has some too?)
Comment 4 Vincent Untz 2007-07-05 15:24:23 UTC 
Should be easy to check what the prefs in gconf is and what is the current config when loading the pager.
Comment 5 Vincent Untz 2007-07-07 13:40:14 UTC 
Well, in fact, we don't want to override a setting that is set elsewhere, so let's just hide this.

It's done in trunk.
