Unless I'm more confused than usual, I'm currently running
lxdm (set to MATE) on F28. I'm glad to have a display manager that
works; but it denies me the two applets I use most. I normally
restrict each workspace to a single app, and keep 18 spaces open
(mostly with eight or ten in actual use); but the current setup only
allows me two workspaces, causing a clutter.
I don't think this is a function of lxdm. I run lxde from startx, but
the actual desktop manager I use is openbox, which I set in the lxde
configuration. In the configuration file for openbox, I can set the
number of workspaces. It defaulted to two, which I upped to 4, but
there is no reason you couldn't make it as many as you want.
The actual desktop manager you are using is probably *not* openbox, but
somewhere in the mate configuration files the desktop manager you *are*
using will be set. Find that, and then configure the desktop manager
to have however many workspaces you want.
