Panels disappearing when changing workspace

Hello all,
I'm using the latest svn version of The GIMP and since 2.7 branch I'm facing a problem within XFCE4 DE I'm using. What happens is that when I have one or several images opened and I switch to a different workspace/desktop the toolbox and all other panels (layers, infobox, etc), apart from the image window itself, disappear. Am I missing something?
I should admit I didn't checked bugzilla to see if there's anything opened yet, but will open one if it's a misbehaviour.

Best Regards,

Sven Neumann

Most probably a side-effect of the patch from http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556896

I'd rather open a bug-report against your window manager. But admittedly, I am not sure if this is a problem with the code in GIMP or a misbehavior of the window manager. Would be nice if we could find a solution that works with all window managers.

That would be Metacity, which is declared getting obsolete and has over 400 (IIRC) not closed bugs .

I can not reproduce the problem with metacity. The patch works exactly as intended there.

400 bugs? That's a lot less than GIMP has.

It's been reported against at least 4 different window managers so far: metacity, xfce, openbox and windowmaker. It's not just metacity. It makes gimp quite a bit more difficult to use under those window managers -- it's what's been keeping me from using git GIMP for anything more than quick tests.

There are also some reports of similar behavior on Windows; I'm not sure whether it really is the same issue, not being familiar with the Windows problem, but Michael Schumacher thought so when he marked bug 566196 a dup of 556896.
