 Thank you! Setting the screen resolution to 1024x600 fixes the "invisible"
 portions of the screen problem (what I see and what the screenshot utility
 sees now match). It was previously (automatically) set to 1024x768, and
 the bottom 168 pixels weren't visible. When I set the resolution to
 800x480, I got similar behavior to the behavior before switching
 workspaces: the right portion of the screen is black and there's a section
 on the bottom left that's vertical stripes.

 Maybe the automatic resolution setting messed up because 1024x600 gives an
 error if you use the default refresh rate of 60Hz? I changed it to 85Hz
 and it was fine, but at 60Hz I got an Invalid Argument error when I tried
 to apply the changed to 1024x600.

 Is the resolution expected to control the portion of the physical screen
 that is used? From other operating systems, I had the impression that
 resolution controlled the scale at which things were drawn, not which
 physical pixels get used.
