I've been using xfce4 for a long time now, and I've always been able to maintain a workspace picker widget in a vertical panel over on the right side of the screen. However, on a new Ubuntu 11.04 installation, I can't do that. Well, I can, but the widget insists on laying itself out horizontally inside the vertical panel, and so of course it just looks (and acts) weird. Setting the number of "rows" in the widget's preferences dialog has no effect, or no real effect.
What I'd expect - and what works for me on my other 11.04 machines, in fact - is that the workspace widget would "know" that it's in a vertical panel, or else provide me with a way to tell it that it is, and then arrange itself appropriately, with windows one above another instead of left-to-right.
I've looked around in every relevant settings dialog I can think of for some other way to say that the workspaces should be tiled vertically and not horizontally, but I can't find any such thing. It's got to be possible because my other machines do it. What am I missing?
