Bug Description

1. The workspace switcher looks like one big rectangle.
2. Right clicking on the window title bar doesn't show a way to move the window to another workspace. I have to manually move it over the next workspace.

I can confirm this.
the looking like 1 big rectangle doesnt happen all the time either. There is also a stack of other things about the applet that dont work right using compiz (where they work with metacity) including

 - cant drag between workspaces with a mouse
 - scroll wheel doesnt work on workspaces (hover mouse over workspace and use scroll wheel)
 - cant have 2 copies open (one with names, one previews of the desktop)
 - it thinks there is 1 workspace (looking in preferences), but theres 4
- it doesnt do previews of the windows.
- when the selected workspace is 1 (on teh far left), 4 (on the far right) goes grey like its empty

Changed in compiz:
status: Unconfirmed → Confirmed

This would involve a patch for the workspace switcher applet to be compiz aware. Feel free to send in patches.
