Bug Description

I don't know how to reproduce this, but every so often I find that the windows I have on my lower workspaces suddenly are located on the upper workspaces. The only applications I have on the lower workspaces are xterm terminals, and they all seem to be moved at the same time, but I haven't figured out what triggers it.

I don't see any of the symptoms of bug 939125. That seems to be about
window focus, while for me the windows get moved to other workspaces.

I remember seeing similar behaviour when doing 'unity --reset' in the
past, so maybe it's doing something similar silently?

I've had similar problems to this with oneiric, and maybe even natty too I think. On odd occasions, some windows (usually terminals) get moved and/or resized strangely.
