Hi Tony, if you remember I said that using the Icon in the panel was not 
an option it just didnt work so I couldnt bring up the desktops , but I 
went back to Compiz>Desktop, and found that if I clicked on Expo, I 
could use the icon again, and it bought back the 
workspaces.......problem is, all this fiddling to get everything back 
and working, the amount of buttons I pressed which stated what I was 
pressing was in conflict with something or other (and this is what is 
annoying, it doesnt give you an option to not change something) there 
must be something somewhere that is still broken, and I have no clue 
why......but I do now have the Panel and the bar at the top back, and I 
can swap between windows, but dont ask me how that happened......there 
needs to be a manual on compiz in 11.10, because I have seen quite a few 
articles written about how you can so easily have your system broken 
with compiz.....I was just glad that I was able to bring up the compiz 
box....otherwise it might have been a new install.......
