hm... (using wmaker as my WM, I never experienced "vanishing" workspaces)
cannot resist to ask the obvious question comin' to my mind:
Do you configure wmaker running on his own once before
using it under gnome ?
Whenever I want to make static changes to the way wmaker lies under my
gnome, I start it up on its own, as the default-setting is not to save
session-information, here, so that it doesn't do things I want gnome to do.
Then, after explicitly saving the setup in the configuration-managementtool
and in the menu normally reachable by f12 (workspace->save session)
its cemented for me ..

In addition to the general X-cut-and-paste-behaviour, there is some nice little
applet called clipboard-applet.
You can "put something into it" by marking and then pressing button on it;
afterwards, if you want to use the last dropped text, it's one left-click and
the paste, for previous "drops" it keeps a history accessible by right-clickin'.
Nifty little thing that...
