That's what I'm seeing on mine, too, but I think it might be related
to having edge-flipping turned off entirely (I got tired of flipping
when I was trying to hit the menu or the panel, and decided I could
live with using function keys). Have you got edge-flipping on or off?
Another possibility is that it works with "viewports" but not with
"workspaces". Or it might be WM-dependent (are you using sawfish)?
Or I might be smoking crack, I admit. :)

All of which just goes to show Havoc's right about wanting to cut
down on the number of options.... :)
