Thanks, this is in any case an improvement! The desktops are shown in
the panel now. It is still not perfect, sometimes a white (but
smaller) bar is drawn over them.
Best regards,

Dear all,
I upgraded from Lubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 by performing the following
command:
sudo do-release-upgrade -d
This affected also the desktop switcher (I hope this is the right
term), see the pictures attached. I used to have eight desktops as
can be seen in the picture.
However, when starting an application, the desktop switcher
completely disappears. In Lubuntu 13.04 and earlier the desktop
switcher was permanently visible.
Does anyone know how I can achieve having the desktop switcher
permantly visible in Lubuntu 13.10 as well?
Best regards,
Wilbert
Wilbert:
I have seen something similar with my Lubuntu 13.10 system.
Any customization I have done with my system is totally by GUI
means. The one I know of, is that I made the panel a bit higher than
normal (32 pixels). I don't use command-line means of customization,
because in my experience, I forget how to do it, so it doesn't get
done on the next release.
Normally, the two desktops I have appear in the task-bar (panel)
switcher, and work without any problems.
But sometimes, one (or both of them) get covered by the taskbar
background.
I recognized it because I have configured my panel to be a bit larger
(in the vertical dimension) than the default, and the panel
background that obscures it doesn't go all the way to the bottom (it
seems to assume a normal-height panel).
I don't know what triggers the problem. It just occasionally 'happens'.
I can make it go away by clicking on any desktop panel entries that
are obscured.

Hmmm... I am not sure where to go from here....
I am running 14.04, and I always do a fresh install... so I have never
experienced this issue...
Of course I keep my /home in a separate partition and have had
problems that can be fixed by moving the configurations.... Have you
checked to see if anyone has reported this bug (on launchpad, or
elsewhere)?
Maybe someone else will have something to add here...
But, I should ask are you using other DE(like xfce, or unity, kde,
etc..) as well as LXDE(Lubuntu-desktop)?
When you restarted lightdm, I should have mentioned (sorry, I forgot)
that you should drop to a tty to do it (Ctrl + Alt + F1) so the error
you saw was probably related to doing that from a terminal...
sometimes I forget people don't use the terminal and tty as often as I
do, and may not naturally go to a tty for those kinds of commands... I
hope I will remember that next time :)
The only other off-the-wall thought I have is that it could be
something in gconf/dconf... but that is just a shot in the dark, as it
seems to me that it is either a bug in the code, a conflicting old
config file, or some weird artifact from 13.04...
