18.04 Cannot manage workspaces












0














I have a laptop with an extra screen attached (one which is shareable with my Mac via a little switch). Recently when I had had both screens attached to the laptop, I disconnected the external screen, leaving a couple of windows on there. I had extreme trouble moving these windows to the laptop screen, both in that same session and for some time later.



I decided to look into workspaces, and right clicked on the icon, whereupon the following message came up:



There was an error loading the preferences dialogue for Workspacebar:



Error: Requiring St, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'Clutter', version '2' not found



Stack trace:

Can someone tell me what this means, and even more important, what I need to do about it. Is there a description that will tell me how to use workspaces? It's a fair while since I last used them.



Thanks in advance.
