i'm embarrassed to ask this, but how does one increase the number of virtual desktops in f12? used to be there were 4, but with f12, after a fresh install, there's only 2 and i've poked around under System->Prefs and don't see a setting for that.

You should be quite embarrassed.... :-)
Right click over the workspaces in the lower right corner and pick "Preferences".

Strange. Works fine here....
Before or after it brought up the Preferences dialog box?
Log out and log in and try again? Or, I could find the file that gets altered....

Without triggering ABRT?

It works fine here.

ABRT triggered for me.
- the workspace switcher disappeared from my preferred location (top near-left) - open windows no longer have icon/name tabs (?window list) - the preferences dialog did not get displayed before ABRT showed - submitted and autoduped as: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=539343
ps there is a gnome-panel in updates-testing that I'm about to try with.
Greetings, I have a box with Fedora and with 3 nics assigned to three different subnets sitting behind a ASA firewall. I have the nics setup as...
eth0 10.10.1.2 (outside, dmz1) eth1 10.10.2.2 (inside, trusted) eth2 10.10.3.2 (dmz, dmz2)
If I am sitting in the 10.10.2.x and I put in a public DNS name and route outside and come back into the 10.10.1.2 interface it simply drops. If I have multiple vlan's I have to always access the host on it's local interface? Is there no way around this?
Reason is I have public DNS entries that are nat'd to my eth0 interface and I cannot get to the web server, ftp, etc from the other vlan's. Am I stuck setting up split brain DNS mapping it all internally?

FWIW, the number of workspaces is kept in this file....
~/.gconf/apps/metacity/general/%gconf.xml

Just right-click on the pager. That will get you to the preferences.

Related to that, I also keep a fair number of desktops, and I find that they take more of my taskbar than I wish to give them. My solution was to put a tray (aka drawer) on the taskbar, and put the desktop switcher in that. I usually leave it open, but I can gain the space it takes just by closing the drawer.
Then I have room for the monitor app on the taskbar, so I can quickly see if the system is running badly. ;-)
I assume you are working under gnome. Just right click with the cursor in on of the workspace icons, on the panel bar on the right. select preferences and you can change the number of virtual workspaces and other things.

I assume you intended that as a reply to the O.P.
