I am using Gnome Classic in 11.10 and when I select a particular workspace it does not highlight it, so I do not know on which workspace I am unless I remember which one I clicked.
PS - By the way I have no problems operating the switcher, it is just the highlighting issue purely for cosmetics and ease of use.

I have a fresh Mint 13 Maya (MATE edition) with Compiz enabled. I also have a two-monitor set-up via NVIDEA drivers with TwinView. I have set up 4 horizontal workspaces via CompizConfig Settings Manager.
Here is the behavior I try to eliminate: I open a window, say, browser, and put it to workspace number 2.
When I log-in on ubuntu 12.04, the workspace switcher often seems to "remember" the last used workspace when shutting down - and it switches to that one when I start up.
I'm wondering if if is possible to easily change the way that the workspace switcher works.
For example if I open Firefox(or any other program), move it to a second workspace then click on the Firefox button again, Ubuntu automatically moves me to the second workspace and brings Firefox to the front.
yes, this should be fixed in next updates or rebuilds, fortunatelly kde-workspace provides kdebase-workspace so there will be not problem, and python provides python2 so python2 is the way to work now, in order to make the switch to python3 easier.
I'm a Windows guy who recently switched to Ubuntu ... I use gVim for programming.
I use gnome shell & I have always noticed that if I launch firefox in workspace 2 or any workspace other than workspace 1, overview is triggered.
I just updated my laptop this evening and now I notice that this behaviour continues but now sometimes when overview is triggred by launching firefox, firefox is off centre to the right in overview and the x to close the appication that appears o
I have a really annoying problem with XFCE4. My window manager for some reason puts new windows in current workspace. Example, I start Eclipse in workspace 2, switch to Firefox on workspace 1, and 5 secs later Eclipse pop up on workspace 1. This is very annoying. I tried google but found no solution. If this is truly unsolvable can you recommend me some other window managers that behave as I wish.
The basic idea is like tiling window manager with a fixed identical grid system.
I don't want windows piled up in a same desktop(workspace).
We can have a huge virtual desktop like setting up 4x4(=16) workspaces, and place a new window in each workspace every time when the window launchs.
Using Unity-Expo, it behaves like zoomed tiled windows/desktop.
If there is a vacant workspace, newly launc
