From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1 Description of problem: I have a laptop with a dual monitor setup. I am using an ATI radeon video card. My xorg configuration is set up to create two separate desktops instead of one wide desktop. The workspace switcher works fine on the default desktop, however when I try to use the keyboard shortcuts to change workspaces on the external monitor it moves one desktop to the right, and then stops working. I can, however select the workspace manually by clicking on it with the mouse. The error message says: *************************** Window manager warning: Attempt to perform window operation 24 on window none when operation 24 on none already in effect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up gnome and xorg for dual monitor, separate desktops 2. CTRL-ALT-RIGHTARROW 3. CTRL-ALT-RIGHTARROW again (at this point nothing happens, and you can't go back to the first workspace either) Actual Results: Workspace switcher stops working, except if you click it with your mouse. Expected Results: Should be able to move between workspaces freely. Additional info:

If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
The information we've requested above is required in order to review this problem report further and diagnose/fix the issue if it is still present.
