it did persist.

I did switch back to an older snapshot as I needed the installation to
work. Now that I have some time off I switched back. I have not seen
the complete corruption yet. But when e.g. "skype" (or gaim) starts
and especially when it shuts down, it sometimes not always throughly
de-arranges the workspaces. After a few seconds workspaces are
re-sorted again. What I saw earlier was probably the same without the
re-sorting phase.
I am using Xinerama and the attached two functions to "fold" Screen1
onto Screen0 when I leave my office. Sometimes applications insist on
opening windows on the "invisible" empty Screen1 at home. So I call
go_home() to force the windows on Screen0. This leads sometimes to
ugly layouts for (ill behaved) applications.
The only other nonstandard thing I use is the "detach.lua" from the
script archive.
