workspace isn't working - sometimes I lose everything from the screen as well.

[DBG]

On my desktop I took the option to use better graphic display which allows for swaying panels. Another thing I did when I first had it was create 4 "workspaces". The workspaces still function, but no longer allow movement "round the corner". i.e./ I can't drag a panel to another workspace anymore.

Occasionaly (and I don't know if it's related to the other problem) the movable bars at the top and bottom of my desktop simply disappear. They come back when I re-boot (I can reboot by pressing on the physical on/off switch of my computer - that opens a panel with the various options for switching off or re-booting etc.

It may be that this problem was provoked by a power outage in my appartment, although I didn't notice a detrimental effect straight away.

I am also losing the top and bottom panels when I switch workspaces. When I first start up, I see 4 workspace icons at the lower right of the desktop, but if I click on one to go to that workspace, I see nothing except the background wallpaper, and the ctrl-alt-arrow keys do not seem to do anything. The only thing I can seem to do at that point is to ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the GUI.
This is a new upgrade to 7.10 Gutsy.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
