Comment 2 Alistair Buxton 2014-02-21 19:46:41 CET 
This makes the refresh into a no-op if workspaces is null. The icon refresh (which is the reason this is now getting called) doesn't rely on workspaces, so this may not be an appropriate fix. I would like to know *why* workspaces apparently haven't been set up when this is getting called.
Comment 3 Eric Koegel editbugs 2014-02-23 07:11:13 CET 
On session startup gtk does send a style set before libwnck has
initialized and sent its workspace created messages.
Pushed to master in: http://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop/commit/?id=6583a1a632779e72ba6ecfa32a10f30980081876

Thanks for the patch!
