Compiz & XFCE — Disagreement on Number of Workspaces / Cube Faces

## What Puzzles Me When I use XFCE with xfwm4 I have 4 workspaces $ xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/workspace_count 4 $ but after I start Compiz (I have previously set the number of faces to 4) $ compiz --replace /dev/null 2>&1 & $ xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/workspace_count 1 $ the Cube has four sides (as requested), but XFCE thinks it has only one workspace — still it is possible to rotate the cube clicking in the Workspace Switcher plugin, in the panel, that still shows 4 panes — on the contrary the Window Menu shows one workspace only, with all the windows in it and selecting a window on another face of the cube doesn't work. ## My Question I'd like to know if I'm missing something obvious (I mean "set this option and it works" rather than "it has to be like this, because...") or on the contrary I have a genuine bug to report to [Compiz's Tracker](https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz) . ### Boring details: Debian Sid xfce4 4.12.3 compiz 1:0.9.13.0+16 ### Salutations Thanks in advance,
