I run 8 workspaces, 4 across, 2 high. Email on screen 4 (upper right) personal stuff on 8 (lower right) and up to 6 different work tickets on the others. It's important for me to directly access any of them with a click on the panel so I can jump back and forth from ticket to ticket as needed. From what I have seen and heard so far, I'm screwed. Please prove me wrong.
Thank you, SIR! That is exactly the kind of thing I do, more lucidly and succinctly described than I'd've been able to do.
Apparently, from this discussion and other hints elsewhere, Gnome3 is unlikely to accommodate the likes of us any time soon. Can anyone recommend an alternative, or a workaround? (Would it be feasible in F15, for instance, to do "yum install metacity"?)
I don't understand how this a big problem in gnome3? It creates as many workspaces as you could possibly ever need, as you need them. If you only need 3 that day, you have 3, or if you need 15, you get 15. All you gotta do is press the super key -> click on the workspace.
