Re: Workspaces slowing me down.

[Seth Galitzer <sgsax ksu edu>]

I'm a fan of a grid layout, too.  I've using this method for 
organization for probably 15+ years, starting back with fvwm (always 
been 3x3 for me).  Having the workspace in my tray or panel or whatever 
was a nice reminder of where my windows were.  I'm getting used to 
dynamic workspaces (I'm willing to change), but feel more comfortable 
with the grid, mostly out of habit.  For me, the greatest thing about 
OSS is the freedom of choice.  I don't mind being given something new to 
try.  Sometimes, I even like the new thing better, but I would like to 
have the choice to revert to something else if I so desire.  I've really 
been liking gnome3 so far, and love most everything about gnome-shell. 
Dynamic workspaces is one thing I'm still having to adjust to.
