Workspace icons don't work properly

[twiggy_trippit]

Hey there! I just installed Linux Mint XFCE, and the workspace icons in my taskbar don't work properly. Clicking on a workspace will not switch to that workspace, and I can't drag and drop applications from one workspace icon to the other. This is the first time I've encountered such an issue with XFCE. Any idea as to how I could solve this?

Thank you!

Does it work trying the key combo ctrl-alt-left or right arrow keys. Because if it doesn't you may have some more serious issues.

I just installed it but nothing happened (ie. i didn't see it workin' at all) Is it because of the version I tried to install or something?

I have MInt-7 Xfce CE installed.

The Workspace switching works well ... at least, for me.
I didn't know you could 'grab and drag' icons from one workspace to the other ... but, that works, as well.

Problems with the Workspace Icon might be an issue with your Mint install ... IDK?

Have you tried going to: Menu> Applications> Settings> XFCE 4 Settings Manager> Workspaces
and seeing what you can do from there?
I'm sure you have already, tried Right-clicking on the Workspace Icon> Properties>

If nothing else works or solves this problem, I would suggest going to Xfce.org and asking in the Forums there.

Well,as you said,already tried the methods you advice me. I might have to contact with the site to find a solution...if only i hadn't messed it up with linux

drop and drag works well at my desktops but for some reason the appearance is weird ...seems like i come from outer space
