See the attached video (i've reduced the resolution to avoid getting a huge video)

Most of the time, when using the messaging menu to access mail or other things, the behaviour is inconsistent.

When the desktop is free from other windows, trying to access evolution or gwibber moves our desktop to the target one.

On the other hand, when there is already a window on the current desktop, trying to access gwibber will move it from its current desktop, while trying to access evolution will "alert" the window (you can't see it in the video, but it's like when a window request your attention by becoming orange in the taskbar), and the user will have to manually click through the item in the taskbar (or manually move to the other desktop) to access it.

Empathy as yet another behaviour: it's tipically dragged to the current desktop regardless of anything else.
