Public bug reported:
Compiz 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20150313-0ubuntu1
Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS, Gnome session flashback
Lenovo ThinkPad W520
Problem: Windows being ejected into wrong workspaces. Cleanup after the
disruption takes about 1.5 minutes and is a tedious clicking chore.
Situation 1: When I switch from laptop's internal screen to external, windows
move between workspaces. When switching, the workspace-switcher stretches twice
as wide as normal, when Ubuntu uses both displays at the same time, "side by
side".
Guess: It seems that all window positions are stored as a distance from the
edge of the first workspace, not in relation to workspace number.
Situation 2: After updating and restarting, when relaunching all applications,
all the windows open in the workspace that I happen to be at, and not even in
the same positions where I left them.
Guess: It appears that neither of the responsible bodies, operating system or
application, try to remember the locations of windows, and some applications
(VLC, document viewer, file browser, image viewer) do not remember anything
from their previous state.
Could the operating system take a more assertive role in keeping my
session intact?
