first of all using latest packages...
my XFCE icon box item on the panel shows all tasks from all workspaces regardless of the option "show applications from all workspaces"
the task list item does that properly
what could the problem be?

compiz.
You actually have all applications on one "workspace", it's just divided into several virtual view-ports.

well yes i thought of that since i really use compiz...
but i tried task list item and it works properly even with compiz and virtual ports so that's not an excuse...

Well then, task list takes virtual workspaces into account whereas the IconBox doesn't...
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

heh well obviously
but if they already removed the feature from task list and ported the icon only display as a separate plugin they should have implemented the "virtual view-ports awareness" too :\

Is there a way to actually fix this in Compiz or are we just gonna have to suffer?

I found a fix that works for me:
1. Open up the 'CompizConfig Settings Manager' (ccsm).
2. Click on 'General Options' at the top.
3. Go to the 'Desktop Size', the last tab at the very far right (use the >).
4. Set 'Number of Desktops' to 1.
5. Set 'Horizontal Virtual Size' and 'Vertical Virtual Size' to give you the number of Viewports that you want in your desired layout. I personally use 2x2 for 4 total.
This will make your Workspace Switcher on the XFCE Panel look funny. If you want to fix it now, remove the item from the Panel and add it again. It is normal to not be able to change the Workspace Switcher 'Properties'; always use General Options under Compiz.
Does this give you your desired behavior? I'm only guessing what it is.
