Hyperspaces reverts to original background image after fast user switch
I just purchased Hyperspaces & like it a lot, except for one problem. Whenever I do a fast user switch to another account, and then return to the original account, the background image has switched back to my original wallpaper (i.e., the wallpaper I used in the account before installing Hyperspaces).
I've checked this out by logging into multiple accounts on my Mac. Each account behaves exactly the same way. I have to quit Hyperspaces in the account, and then restart it in order to see my own assigned Hyperspaces background images. A real pain, to say the least!
I have a Mac Pro with 4 Intel 3 GHz Xeon processors, 9 GB of memory, an Nvidia GEFORCE 8800 GT video card, and am running Mac OSX 10.5.7. No other problems on my computer.
What's up? Is there a workaround for this problem?
Thanks very much.
Jim

Inappropriate?I'm afraid not - I haven't been able to reproduce this either. Do you run Hyperspaces in more than one of these accounts at the same time? I've been able to fast user switch back and forth to my Guest account with Hyperspaces running in my main account without any loss of functionality.
I assume it might have something to do with the window server being reset or changed in some way while Hyperspaces is not watching - but I need to do more testing to figure this out. Any additional info you can provide helps - console logs that mention Hyperspaces might be a good start? -
Inappropriate?Nope, I'm running it in just one account right now. May be it's a conflict with another program or preference panel that I have installed?
Re checking the console log, I rebooted the computer, logged in to just my own account, started all my usual stuff, then started Hyperspaces. It came up fine. Then, I logged out using fast user switching. Upon logging in, as before, my Hyperspaces wallpaper was gone. Check the attached image to see the entries.
By the way, I also run Earthdesk, although I only use it in my own account. In another account, I don't run it, and the Hyperspaces problem still occurs there. I.E., on fast user switching from that account, I lose my Hyperspaces wallpaper, etc.
Thanks for your work & analysis!

Inappropriate?Good news - I've managed to reproduce the bug (thankyou, Snow Leopard!). I've come up with a fix, but I need you to test this for me fairly heavily:

If this works, it may resolve the other final issue with 1.0 beta 8!
I’m confident

Inappropriate?Hyperspaces 1.0b9 is now available: http://gsfn.us/t/ca6v it should resolve this issue for all users - please post back here if it doesn't.
I completely rewrote the core of Hyperspaces to address issues like this one for this release.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Hey, Tony, thanks for the post and for fixing the problem. I've now installed the new beta release. It works perfectly, maintains the Hyperspaces desktops even through fast user switches. Thanks!!
I'm upgrading to Snow Leopard next week, so the fact that the new Hyperspaces works under it is an added bonus.
I’m thankful
