Comment 5 for bug 459529

Hmm, I overlooked the version in use on my initial reading of the bug report. It's a bit peculiar that the preferences would not load initially. I'm suspecting that adjusting the settings in xfce workspace switcher _probably_ did not correct the issue and that it was something else.

If possible please set the the xfce workspace switcher back to the the previous settings, and then start awn/shinyswitcher and confirm if the preferences are no longer accessible.

thanks,
