compitable withubuntu 20.04

Thank you for the nice project. It is convenient to use i3 in gnome domain.
But it seems some functions in gnome control center do not work, such as the touchpad setting, bluetooth etc
Is it because of version 20.04?

Is that using gnome-flashback? https://github.com/i3-gnome/i3-gnome/wiki/Tips-&-Tricks#gnome-flashback

I ran into this same issue. My install of Ubuntu 20.04 did not have gnome-flashback installed.
gnome-flashback can be installed by running:

sudo apt install gnome-session-flashback

Once installed, either log out and back in, reload your i3 config (assuming the startup is added), or manually start it by running

gnome-flashback

I will note, that the desktop issue happened as soon I as started gnome-flashback. See https://github.com/i3-gnome/i3-gnome/wiki/Tips-&-Tricks#1st-workspace-showing-gnome-desktop-as-window for a fix.
