Description Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2013-02-28 19:37:29 UTC

Workspaces disappeared from RHS of overview screen (I had 3 of them). Ctrl+Shift+Arrows still worked.

In .cache/gdm/session.log I have following output:

(Please note that I'm using systemd for session management. The problem disappeared after restart (Alt+F2 r).
