As others have already stated, this is simply false. Now that you know
it, will you please return the status of this bug to High? Please?

The launcher replaces the taskbar by using Spread. Newbies don't get
multiple workspaces (especially when Unity decides to put apps on them
"automatically"), hence we, Ubuntu evangelists, disable them so newbies
don't flee back to Windows. If Spread is disabled when we, evangelists,
make it easier for new users to stay on Ubuntu, what do you expect us to
tell them? Learn to use workspaces and shut up?

Thanks for your understanding.

Back to 5.10 for all my users while this is being fixed.
