I am affected by bug #11333.
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11333

Whitespace mode claims to be active but it does nothing.  In every buffer I
have to turn it off then back on to make it work.

This is Ubuntu 13.04.  "emacs --version" outputs "24.2.1".
"apt-cache show emacs24" contains "Version: 24.2+1-2ubuntu2".

Is there an easy work-around?

Regards

You could either switch to emacs-snapshot.  Or you can try to download
the new version of whitespace.el and explicitly load this version from
your .emacs.

There is no emacs-snapshot in Ubuntu 13.04.

Anyway, I found an easier workaround: whitespace mode _globally_ with
global-whitespace-mode.

Regards

Not in the official releases.  I (Debian) use the package from
http://emacs.naquadah.org/.  At that page, there is a link to Ubuntu
packages: https://launchpad.net/~cassou/+archive/emacs.

  Thank you for the information.  For the moment, I have worked around the
aforementioned bug.  But Emacs snapshot entices me.  Is it reasonably stable?
Does it have important new functionality?  Are there any regressions?
