RedHat/CentOS 7.1: Change names of Gnome workspaces
RedHat/CentOS 7.1.1503; GNOME Shell 3.8.4
I name my workspaces after current projects I'm working on (for 1-4 weeks). How can I rename them from "1" "2"... to something like "Vienna" "Berlin"?
In CentOS6 I just right clicked on the workspace panel add-on and renamed them in the properties.
I already found the "Workspace Lables" extension ( https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/551/workspace-labels/ ) but this does not allow me to change the names.

OK, found a way via gsettings:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences workspace-names "['Com', 'Vienna', 'Test1', 'Test2','Test3']"
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences num-workspaces "5"

When you run this command, if you get the GLib-GIO-Message:
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.
check the path to the command. In my case running which gsettings showed path to the anacoda folder:
.../anaconda3/bin/gsettings
Using absolute path to the system gsettings solved the problem:
/usr/bin/gsettings set ...
