I've migrated my desktop to GNOME3, and miss a log of functionality. |
| 2 |
Among the most annoying missing parts for me is a non-dynamic set of |
| 3 |
virtual desktops and a pager applet to go with it. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I have found that the x11-misc/ipager app to be a useful replacement |
| 6 |
along with gnome-tweak-tool. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
The gnome-tweak-tool allows setting non-dynamic desktops, (Shell | |
| 9 |
Dynamic workspaces -> Off, set the count of desktops you want.) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The ipager app can then be emerged and configured. Here is my |
| 12 |
ipager.conf file: |

This puts a static pager bar in the bottom-right of my desktop with |
| 105 |
a cool blue feel. This spot is below where I stash the GKrellM panel. |
| 106 |
|
| 107 |
It is not the most convenient configuration file, but it also has not |
| 108 |
been worked on since Sep 2008. |
| 109 |
|
| 110 |
You can also add ipager to the gnome-session-properties set. |
| 111 |
The program live in /usr/bin/ipager |
| 112 |
use "-c /home/<user>/<wherever you want>/ipager.conf" with the program. |
