Hi Jason, Thanks for getting back to me. This is definitely a Compiz issue. The good news is that I've been working on some fixes for situations like yours.
If you feel somewhat adventurous, I have a test package that may fix this issue. It can found at https://launchpad.net/~townsend/+archive /compiz-test. If you do install it and it doesn't fix the issue, breaks other things (hopefully not:)), or you do not want to use it any more, you can always use ppa-purge to go back to the official version of Compiz in the archive. If you need help on adding my PPA, let me know and I'll give you some direction.

I still have 8 - but most are empty There is no error, and they (say) go from 5 in use to (say) 3 in use - not a total collapse and not showing any app dependency. eg I may find firefox and thunderbird in the same workspace and another time find remmina sitting underneath some terminal shells The only extra piece of info is that it appears to only happen to the workspaces that I'm not currently in. ie I don't see this happening in the current one - always another one. Sort of Heisenburg's uncertainly principle at work!
