Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

When I installed feisty fawn I had no problem with the new desktop effects. Since a couple of days, the effect of the cube doesn't work anymore, and everytime I try to deactivate it in order to reactivate, it automatically switch to 1 desktop in use, instead of the four I desire.

First I stop using the desktop effects. (Unticked them both)
Then I reopened the desktop effects window.
Right Clicked on the workspace window on bottom left corner of the desktop.
Clicked Preferences and selected the number of desktop to be 4.
Enabled both the effects.
It has started working on my computer.

I wish I hadn't made a bug report now, because this fixed my problem, or so it seems.
