Upgraded to 11.04 this past summer. I've been trying to get the workspace switcher working like it does on my other box, which is running 10.10.
On my 10.10 box, I can run separate instances of apps on each screen. For example, I can open four different instances of firefox, each pointing to a different website.
No can do on 11.04. I can switch to all four workspaces, but when I bring up an app in one, then go to another workspace, the same instance comes up, and it kicks it back to workspace #1. In effect, the workspace switcher is worthless as it's set up now.
I'm convinced at this point that it's a compiz manager setting, but they all look OK to me (workspace switcher enabled, etc).
Anyone have any suggestions on what I could try?
Thanks!
