Bug Description

i've always had three workspaces. today i turn on the computer and only one workspace is visible. i hit preferences and see that the number of workspaces is displayed as three, but there is only one workspace listed.

this is one of many new problems i discovered today after updates yesterday for xubuntu 12.04. i also cannot resize windows nor access menus nor right click. i will file these as separate bugs.

you hit alt f2 and run
xfwm4 --replace
to fix it.

this solution was written a year ago. if this happens often in xubuntu desktop, this is a major bug. it kills the whole system and the user doesn't see why.
