Bug Description
How to reproduce :
- Have a workspace with only one window
- Close it
- Try to switch on a another workspace or use any keyboard shortcut : nothing happens
- Only way to get back to a working configuration is to switch to another application by clicking an app in the launcher

I've asked a question about this on AskUbuntu a while ago ( http://
=== update ===
This bug happends when there is a sticky window on the desktop that doesn't accept focus (covergloobus does that, but I've also written a short Python program in comment #15 that can trigger the bug)
