Any good way to rename workspaces in Unity 3D (e.g. compiz)?
Back when I was running metacity (e.g. old Gnome 2) we could called them useful names like "Personal", "Work", "Development", "Media", etc.

Best Answer
If you don't have the application "Configuration Editor", install it using this command in terminal:
sudo apt-get install gconf-editor
Now, open Configuration Editor in the Dash. You will want to navigate to this path:
/apps/metacity/workspace_names
Now, rename name_1, name_2,... whatever you would like. :)
If it doesn't work initially, you may want to log out and log in.
Edit: This does NOT work with the right click option that you requested, sadly. It does work with the
indicator-workspaces
package and some other things on Ubuntu. Thought this would help :(Edit Again: This link shows that the newest version of compiz that will be in 12.10 WILL have this capability. So, it looks like we'll have to wait another 2 months or so, then we can do this all we want. :)
