Re: GWorkspace in unknown state: bug?

[Dennis Leeuw]

Okay it happened again, command-h doesn't seem to bring back the icon. 
Clicking the left over icon (the windowmaker icon) brings up the window 
maker menu....

But I noticed something very weird they icon of GWorkspace seems to be 
tied to my mouse pointer. If I have my mouse in the left top of the 
screen the GWorkspace icon is over the window maker icon (see 
screenshot). If I move my mouse down the GWorkspace icon moves down 
also. It is only visible over the window maker icon, it does not move 
over other icons or the desktop.

Any insight is this strange behavior would be highly appreciated.

With kind regards,

Dennis
