No, I'm not using any fancy 3D stuff; not Beryl, compiz, nor any of
the like; this is where the workspace switches from 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4
-> 5 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 ... (or the other way round), at the rate of
about 3 switches per second.

http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2991, where I have added my
own "me too".
