Command line configuration of Workspaces in particular

Running a cluster, occasionally users will want a desktop env.

We provide one using Open On Demand.

We don't need 4 workspaces, and I don't want people to get confused given latency etc.

I want to be able to configure a single workspace using a cli config. The OOD app distribution for Matlab already includes some config options for xfce:

config/menus/xfce-applications.menu
config/xfce4/terminal/terminalrc
config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-panel.xml

I was hoping I'd be able to add a one or two liner into the config to disable Workspaces, or reset them to 1 and remove them from the panel?

Re: Command line configuration of Workspaces in particular

Line 28 of the already existing config options:

    <property name="plugin-4" type="string" value="pager"/>

...is what sets the pager (workspace switcher). Try removing that line.

This will only affect new user setups.
