Workspace icons don't work properly

Postby twiggy_trippit on Mon Nov 02, 2009 4:43 am

Hey there! I just installed Linux Mint XFCE, and the workspace icons in my taskbar don't work properly. Clicking on a workspace will not switch to that workspace, and I can't drag and drop applications from one workspace icon to the other. This is the first time I've encountered such an issue with XFCE. Any idea as to how I could solve this?

Thank you!

Linux Mint is funded by ads and donations.

Does it work trying the key combo ctrl-alt-left or right arrow keys. Because if it doesn't you may have some more serious issues.

I just installed it but nothing happened (ie. i didn't see it workin' at all) :( Is it because of the version I tried to install or something?

I have MInt-7 Xfce CE installed.

The Workspace switching works well ... at least, for me.
I didn't know you could 'grab and drag' icons from one workspace to the other ... but, that works, as well. :P

Problems with the Workspace Icon might be an issue with your Mint install ... IDK?

Have you tried going to: Menu> Applications> Settings> XFCE 4 Settings Manager> Workspaces
and seeing what you can do from there?
I'm sure you have already, tried Right-clicking on the Workspace Icon> Properties>

If nothing else works or solves this problem, I would suggest going to Xfce.org and asking in the Forums there.

Well,as you said,already tried the methods you advice me. I might have to contact with the site to find a solution...if only i hadn't messed it up with linux :)

drop and drag works well at my desktops but for some reason the appearance is weird ...seems like i come from outer space :mrgreen:
