Expected behavior

Polybar doesn’t crash.

Actual behavior

Polybar either loses the xworkspaces module or just disappears and requires a restart.

Additional Context / Screenshots

i am stumped, i’ll happen to look down where polybar usually is and realize either A: the xworkspaces module is missing, or B: the entire bar is just gone. It’s taken about two weeks just to get it to happen again.
