I can reproduce this. [WAS: iconbox on first workspace only]

[Don Tanner]

Hello all,

Yes I have the same situation with xfce4-iconbox.
It only shows on Workspace 1.  Always has for me.
Apparently Neal has noticed this also as you can read below
from his email concerning "first draft" Documentation/Manual.
I only included the relevant paragraph from the "Iconbox" 
section from the email.

I am finally getting some time to work on contributing to the XFce4 
manual.  Here is some sample text that I think would fit into Jasper's 
manual.  Comments welcome, positive or negative.

Iconbox

Checking "Show All Workspaces" causes Iconbox to display application 
icons from all workspaces in Iconbox.  For example, if workspace #1 
contains three applications and workspace #2 contains two applications. 
Iconbox will display all five application icons.  Apps can be summoned
from other workspaces onto workspace #1 (where Iconbox resides) just by 
clicking on their icon.

****Notice above 3 lines up****

Good Luck on your tests.

Peace
Don
