Having two open Workspace Switchers with 8 desktops and two rows fails to display two rows on one of them

Thank you for your bug. Could you make a screenshot of the bug? Do you use the desktop effects option?

For some reason the second screen isn't being shown in my screenshots, so I moved the workspace switchers to the same screen. Notice how both dialogs say 2 rows, yet only one of the workspace switchers actually is.

I don't use desktop effects.

Woops. Ignore that first screenshot.

Likely an upstream bug, might be a duplicate. To confirm and send on bugzilla by somebody with a dual screen configuration

I've noticed that removing the second switcher from the panel, then putting it back and changing the settings makes it work. An annoying work-around, but it might lend some insight to the root cause of the problem.

could you try if that's still an issue in hardy?

The bug exists in Hardy and the workaround from previous versions (delete and re-add workspace switcher on secondary screen) does not work anymore.

I have dual screen setup with separate X server for each screen, nvidia card, not twinview.

What happens: after setting screen 1 to 3x2 workspaces by rightclicking on switcher and choosing 3 columns and 2 rows, the switcher on screen 1 is displayed correctly and works correctly, even after X restart.

The switcher on screen 2 works correctly (switches workspaces on screen 2), but number of workspaces cannot be changed - if preferences menu is brought up by rightclick, it will show AND change preferences of screen 1 instead.

I am guessing there is bug in applets configuration handling that does not take in account screen. It used to work in some past distributions though. I have tried to find the configuration setting/file to fix it manually but failed so far, can you tell how to do it?
