Obviously I meant "safe" wrt the gnome-shell behavior ;) For what concerns the workspace-cycle I found these two links: - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-637598.html - http://www.yet-another-geek.org/archives/14-Cycle-through-your-workspaces-in-a-loop-on-Ubuntu.html Which inspired my this shell script: --- [cycle_workspaces.sh] --- #!/bin/sh ## Based on: ## - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-637598.html ## - http://www.yet-another-geek.org/archives/14-Cycle-through-your-workspaces-in-a-loop-on-Ubuntu.html function usage { echo "Usage: $0 {--prev|--next}" exit } function notify { # to add before "wmctrl -s $newws" numws=$1 msg=$(($numws+1)) # Use 'notify-send': nice but under Gnome-Shell the notification remains # in the systray. #notify-send "Desktop $msg" -i gnome-terminal # Use 'xosd': faster font="-adobe-helvetica-*-*-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" osd_opt="--delay=1 --outline=4 --outlinecolour=black --color=white --pos=middle --align=center --lines=1 --font='$font'" killall -q osd_cat echo "< $msg >" | osd_cat $osd_opt - & } ## main ## if [ -n "$1" ]; then case $1 in --prev) dir=-1 ;; --next) dir=1 ;; *) usage esac maxws=$(wmctrl -d | wc -l) cmd='/\*/{ rv=($1+'$dir')%'$maxws'; } END { print (rv < 0) ?

I lost the super-eye-candy workspace switcher notifier (I mean the workspace change notifier that appears when you change the workspace with <Ctrl>Up or <Ctrl>Down) 2. I am unable to make the function "notify" work. If I use 'notify-send' the notification remains in the systray area and it's so baaaaad. If I use xosd (osd_cat) I get an error about "unrecognized fond"; however If I run the same command from CLI it works. Any idea or improvement?
