Then continue the boot into runlevel 3. Login and remove the file and then reboot which should revert to what you had before with a full graphical login in runlevel 5 </blockquote></div>Thanks, that worked. I wasn't sure how to interrupt the boot process since the grub menus was hidden. I read the manual and I just needed to press escape. <blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote"> When I right click on the workspace switcher and click preferences, I get a window with radio buttons for Show only the current workspace, and Shaw all workspaces in: _____ rows I'm on F10 x86_64, Gnome.

The preferences no longer include the option to change the number of workspaces, just the number of rows.
