Eric. I fixed mine by turning off desktop effects, then the workspace
switcher works correctly. I set the number of workspaces I wanted and
any other settings (name workspaces, view on n rows etc.) then turned on
desktop effects and everything worked fine. I had to go back to the open
source ATI drivers to get desktop effects working. You shouldn't have to
with Nvidia drivers. The problem I had with the desktop flashing through
any open windows every few seconds was caused by a system monitor
utility called Conky updating every 5 seconds. Turned that off and no
problems. I also installed compiz-settings-manager to give me full
control over desktop effects.
