How to switch workspace via mouse wheel in 12.04

Question

I had this feature in 11.10 after using a tweak by Ubuntu tweak. The new version for 12.04 seems not to have this tweak. How can I get this tweak?

This only seems to work when you are over the desktop. IF you have your mouse pointer in a window it does nothing. Any Ideas?

You can achieve that with CompizConfig Settings Manager.

Install CompizConfig Settings Manager:

Hit Alt+Ctrl+T to open terminal and run following command:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Or search for "compizconfig-settings-manager" in Software Center and install it from there.

How to set it up?

Once installed, Hit Super key (Windows key) to open Unity dash and search for "ccsm" and open it.
Navigate to Desktop > Viewport Swicher

That's It!

So far, after having the same problem with 11.10 upgrade to 12.04, that this feature was unavailable.

What I tried was

unity --reset

in a terminal window. This added the scroll wheel to the viewport switcher.

Afterwards, this still did not work fully for me, but it's worth a shot.
