Re: XGL with more/less than 4 workspaces

One question just came to my mind. What would happen with XGL if I had
not 4 but say 3 or 5 workspaces? I mean, default gnome/KDE settings is
4. All the videos I have seen show XGL having 4 workspaces, which
implies that they are on the four sides of a cube (top and bottom
faces don't count because they are blank, which will lead to the
second question, see below). So how would or does XLG behave if I have
another number of workspaces (if this is possible)?

The top and bottom of the box become regular N-gons, where N=the number
of workspaces.


Second question: top and bottom faces are blank on all the videos I
have seen, except one where there's an Impress presentation (this one
was about 10 minutes long and shows many features, David Reverman's
and Novell's names appear at the beginning).
Do these faces serve any purpose? How can they get used?

It's not an impress presentation. It's a sequence of SVG images. I have
not even been able to get it to work even on the cubic box. You're
supposed to set a list of filenames that will be progressed through, but
nothing ever shows up when I set that gconf variable.
