Hi!
Can anyone tell me how to make/change settings for the [virtual] workspaces in LXDE?
I like having 6 workspaces handy. Not that I every use that many very often, but it's nice to have...
Thanks...

Workspaces are an illusion created by the window manager. Since you do not say what your window manager is, we do not know. If it is Openbox, this setting is discussed here
http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Configuration
It would be really, really nice if people would say what version of LXDE they are running and something about their distro and other software, so we don't have to ask these questions constantly.
Not to pick on you personally, but I am terminally tired of this, especially after having mentioned it so many times. I will be more scarce here in the forum from now on.

Sorry, I should've mentioned the distros I was talking about: Mint 9 LXDE and lubuntu 10.10. I'm using both as persistent installs on USB pen-drives to give them both a test-drive sort of thing to try and get familiar-ish with LXDE.

Right on, thanks.
I'll get this LXDE business figured out sooner or later!

Hi there!
I'm still pretty new to the LXDE thing too.
But I'm learning (at least I think I am)..
