Re: F17 Gnome3 workspace names

Under F16, I was able to create a file

~/.gconf/apps/metacity/workspace_names/%gconf.xml

that would allow me to name my workspaces, so they don't show up as
"Workspace 1", "Workspace 2", etc. After a fresh install of F17, this is
no longer working although the file is still present. Is there a way to
name workspaces under Gnome3/F17?

There's the following:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.wm.preferences workspace-names "['name1', 'name2']"

But I'm not sure whether/how those names are used in the interface.
