My Number One PC, currently running F14, has a weird trouble, which I haven't yet managed to describe very well. It boots, showing what my workspace switcher calls #1, with my gnome terminal and its usual tabs (which work). But the switcher fails to change to any other workspace, and if you click the window selector, it seems to think no windows are open. (The window list remains all but invisible, also as if there were none.) None of the methods listed in the Workspace Switcher help gets me to any other workspace. (I have 18 of them, btw; I know that may be marginal -- but the preferences dialog no longer lets me change the number. No way to do so even appears.) I can add more windows on top of the terminal, but if I minimize one, it disappears; and I have found no way to get back to it. (All I've tried do work when open.) I had supposed this to be a trouble of the machine, which normally only I ever use. The other day, I added my wife to the Users list, just in case, and yesterday I logged her in for the first time. Beginning, in a very sleepy condition, to configure her desktop, I discovered the Workspace Switcher worked fine there. So I added a third userid, btth2 (my normal being btth -- who want to keep typing out "Beartooth"?). The switcher works there, too. This would appear to tell me the trouble is in how btth is configured, somehow -- I can't imagine how. I'd like to add all my data, and all I can of my tweaks and configurations (*except*, I hope, the source of the trouble!), to btth2; delete btth; and rename btth2 -- in effect, moving btth to the new name and back. That might save me finding the weirdness, reporting it, and getting my swiftly senescing skull around the directions for coping with it. Can I do all that? How? Or is there something better to do instead? (The trouble is on my main PC, which is of course the newest, biggest, fastest I have; and I miss it. <snimper, whiff>) -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
