Yes, you are right, that is what seems to be happening. The odd thing is I don't REMEMBER installing GWorkspace. I did download the tar... but anyway...
It isn't quite as simple as you describe though, in case anyone else runs into this. To say GWorkspace is a bad citizen is putting it mildly. As I described earlier, it was a non-functioning screen that comes up. Watching the behavior closer, it appears as though GWorkspace and Gnome are fighting for control. I can see (if I look closely) some windows flashing on and off, but never do I get a chance to do anything. Every option on the menu is grayed out and none of the icons on the side are active. When I reboot and come into Window Maker, and run GWorkspace from there, then I am able to set the background to off. Now, as you predicted, the Project Center works correctly after that (even when I come back into Gnome). I don't know if this qualifies as a bug, but it sure is undesirable behavior!
