Hi,

The workspace switcher on my gnome-panel disappears. Logging in as a different user this problem does not happen. The only thing I can find is the file .xsession-errors on my home dir. Its contentis :
------------------
**PWD =/home/cil | **SUBTREES: ---------------------------------------------------------------- ./ ../ accCpp/ .cddbslave/ clipping/ Desktop/ download/ evolution/ .freeciv/ .fullcircle/ .gconf/ .gconfd/ .gnome/ .gnome2/ .gnome2_priva .gnome-deskto .gnome_privat .helix/ .java/ javaApp/ .jpi_cache/ .kde/ .kdevelop-doc .macromedia/ .mcop/ .metacity/ misc/ .mozilla/ mysqlApp/ .nautilus/ pictures/ .pyinput/ .qt/ source/ .ssh/ test/ .themes/ .Trash/ tutorials/ workspace/ .xmms/ .xmms-moved/ ----------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------
The "PWD..." outputs I recognize as from my cd command. Thanks in advance.

TYry this: right-click on the panel --> add to this panel , and from the emerging menu choose workspace switcher (it probably isn't called that, but it's there alright)
