Wilbert:

I have seen something similar with my Lubuntu 13.10 system.

Any customization I have done with my system is totally by GUI means.  
The one I know of, is that I made the panel a bit higher than normal (32 
pixels).  I don't use command-line means of customization, because in my 
experience, I forget how to do it, so it doesn't get done on the next 
release.

Normally, the two desktops I have appear in the task-bar (panel) 
switcher, and work without any problems.

But sometimes, one (or both of them) get covered by the taskbar background.

I recognized it because I have configured my panel to be a bit larger 
(in the vertical dimension) than the default, and the panel background 
that obscures it doesn't go all the way to the bottom (it seems to 
assume a normal-height panel).

I don't know what triggers the problem.  It just occasionally 'happens'.

I can make it go away by clicking on any desktop panel entries that are 
obscured.
