**I'm sorry, I forgot to mention that the image in my last comment was of Desktop 2, although it appears to be from Desk 1. The programs are not minimized, they are on Desk 1**

This screenshot is the result of switching to another desktop via the workspace switcher in the lower right corner. As far as I can tell the workspace actually switches, since the program list disappears and the switcher shows me to be on the correct desktop. However, the top panel disappears, and I can no longer right click on the desktop (but I still can on the bottom panel). Using the same method to switch back to Desk 1 results in the bottom panel disappearing until it is clicked on, upon which everything returns to normal.

This bug doesn't occur when visual effects are turned off. I do run Compiz, and I know that it is notorious for breaking things....
