Gnome-shell dual monitor separate workspaces
# By default the behavior is:
# Primary monitor work as always and second monitor only have one and fixed workspace
# I.e. you change to next workspace, primary monitor change to this workspace and second monitor remain as is.
# The desired behaviour is:
# Primary monitor and secondary monitor are linked workspace.
# I.e. you change to next workspace, primary monitor change to this workspace and second monitor too.
$ gconf-editor
# Look for /desktop/gnome/shell/windows/workspaces_only_on_primary and set to false

@rgo hey! Yes, I've found this one a bit later after finding this thread here. It looks like it will stay opened for a long time.

By the way, I'm currently using the other monitor with the workspace fixed. If I ever miss again separate workspaces, I think I'm going back to dwm that supports this feature.
