Actually in my setup, If you invoke the Workspace Switcher, the panel stays with the tittle of the last focused application. Not sure if this is a bug or a design choice.

I've added a screenshot to underline another issue: appmenu remains active when the WS is selected, but it doesn't work at all.

I'll change the bug status to "In Progress".
In the latest builds of Unity i saw that, when i pressed the WS selector button in the Springboard, the title in the panel returned to be "Ubuntu Desktop" (not Workspace Switcher), even with a focused window in the desktop.

In 12.04 it now says "Ubuntu Desktop" is this the intended fix or does it need to say "Workspace Switcher"?

The panel reports "Ubuntu Desktop" in 13.04 ( Unity 7.0.0daily13.04.18~13.04-0ubuntu1, default version)
Shouldn't be this marked as fixed?
