Description Joe Wright 2017-01-19 14:57:48 UTC
- Need the ability to disable the workspace switcher and remove it from the panel entirely
- Required for system hardening

You can remove workspace switcher from panel just like any other applet. What is actual problem?

After the patch provided at Bug 777504, you can pretty much disable it by setting the number of workspaces to 1 and having static (non-dynamic workspaces).

In order to set this preferences, gnome-tweak-tool > Workspaces:
Workspace Creation = Static
Number of Workspaces = 1

For clarification: we are speaking about the window-list gnome-shell-extension here (part of the gnome classic experience).

Or the respective gsettings:

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter dynamic-workspaces false
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences num-workspaces 1
