Title:
  Wnck fails to report correct workspace number. Urgent!

Status in “gnome-python-desktop” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Hello,
  Using "python-wnck" to report and set the workspace/desktop number.

  I have the following Python code. It first sets the current
  desktop/workspace (in the loop) and then tries to report the desktop
  number.

  The print "actual=", actual
  statement prints always the first desktop (eg. 0), It does not change. 
  IT DOES NOT OBEY THE  ws.activate(timestamp) command. 

  Note: you must test this with Metacity Window Manager. It will not work with Compiz. Run 
  $ metacity --replace 

  # The code:
  import gtk, gobject, wnck
  import time

  class Cambiatore(object):
      def __init__(self):
          self.screen= wnck.screen_get_default()

      def cambia(self, next_ws):
          ws = self.screen.get_workspaces()[next_ws]
          timestamp = int(time.time())
          ws.activate(timestamp)

          ws = self.screen.get_active_workspace()
          actual = self.screen.get_workspace_index(ws)
          print "actual=", actual

          gtk.main_quit()

  c = Cambiatore()

  # Supposing you have at least 4 virtual desktops. Loop'em.
  for i in range(4):
      gobject.idle_add(c.cambia, i)
      gtk.main()

  And why does it need this evet-loop thing ?
  DEEPLY COONFUUSING !
