This worked fine in 11.10, but today I upgraded to 12.10 and I can't remember what I had to do to get this to work correctly. What I want is:

When in a workspace, the only icons in the taskbar should be for applications that are running in the current workspace. What I see now are all application icons regardless of the workspace they are running in.

I am using Gnome Classic since I have a VPN client that only shows it's status in the system tray from Gnome Classic.

    Are you talking about the indicators icons? If not, I should undo my edit. Also, could you add a screen-shoot? You can upload it in Imgur and link it into your question.

  • I'm not sure what you mean by indicators icons. I'm talking about the application icons in the taskbar at the bottom of the workspace. If you look at this image of the taskbar you'll see: "Overview - Python v2.." This is from a Konqueror in Workspace 2 Terminal - from Workspace 1 Firefox - Bug... - from Workspace 3 Terminal/Python Shell/gedit of dhcpd_config.py - from Workspace 4 rdesktop - from Workspace 1 again In 11.10 I set something so the icons were for apps in the current workspace only.

As it turns out, the solution to a different problem I was having (workspace names in the taskbar) ended up solving this as well. The solution is to use metacity instead of compiz. When I do that I only see the applications for each workspace in their respective workspaces (or viewports...).
