upgrading 64bit Xubuntu also gives only one workspace on the top panel after the upgrade.

What's the number of workspaces returned by:
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/workspace_count
?

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

And also:
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/workspace_names
?
Thanks.

[Charlie Kravetz (cjkgeek)]

xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/workspace_count

1

xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/workspace_names

Value is an array with 2 items:

1
2

I tried several upgrades from 10.10, with either the default workspace count (2), or 4, and I couldn't reproduce that. :/

This bug did not show up in testing for Natty Narwhal Beta2. As the original reporter, I am closing it since it appears to have been fixed by some updates.
