Bug Description
Ubuntu Karmic (9.10RC1)
Xfce 4 Desktop Environment
version 4.6.1
PPA for AWN Testing repository
awn-applets-extras version 0.3.9.1~
Could adjust the number of workspace under the XFCE desktop setting under the following condition:
1. AWN is not running
2. AWN is running without the Shiny Switcher
If the Shiny Switcher applet is activated on the AWN, the number of workspace on the XFCE workspace adjustment setting would change either it would increase or decrease. When I first noticed the problem it goes to 6 workspace from my setting of 2. From here the workspace setting would lock-up and could not be adjusted in the XFCE.
Note: When I added a Workspace switcher on the XFCE panel and activate the AWN Shiny Switcher applet, it goes to 1 workspace and lock-up from there.
While tweaking the setting (properties / preference) of the two switcher, the XFCE Workspace switcher and the AWN Shiny Switcher Preference setting it suddenly work out.
It seems like there is a conflict between the two during the initial startup causing the lockup.
XFCE panel Workspace switcher have a number of row setting.
While the AWN Shiny Switcher have row and column setting.

Yes, shinyswitcher does attempt to configure the workspaces to it's own configuration on startup. So another workspace switcher could very well get into a conflict. My suggestion is to use one or the other.
I've redone some of that code in rewrite and it _may_ play nicer with others in this type of situation (no guarantees).
