Multi-row Layout for Workspaces in Metacity

Question

I'm looking for a way to increase number of rows in worskpaces layout.

i.e. 3 cols and 2 rows. Using g-conf I can only change number of worskpaces horizontally, but not vertically, even if it seems to be possibile.

I'm working on a Ubuntu 11.04 machine.

maybe should be moved to askubuntu.com – Juan Sebastian Totero May 10 '11 at 15:14 — Juan Sebastian Totero, May 10 '11 at 15:14

I found it. The key to change the number of rows in gconf-editor is /apps/panel/applets/workspace_switcher_screen0/prefs/num_rows from Askubuntu.com

Is it supposed to work if the workspace switcher applet is not started? I don't have it, and this settings doesn't seem to make any difference. – PierreBdR Oct 18 '11 at 08:02
