Re: Custom workspace arrangement?

Hello Marko,

I believe the setting you're looking for is in:
System Settings > Desktop Effects > All Effects (tab) > Desktop Grid > 
wrench
button > Layout mode: (drop-down)

There you can configure a number of layouts for the desktop grid, which 
is
visible when switching desktops or when showing the grid via the 
effects.
In your case, picking either "Custom" and specifying "1 row" for the 
"Number
of rows below" or picking the "Pager" layout mode will have the desired
effect.

I hope this *disentangles* it. ;)

Cheers,
Ivo
