Bug Description
Binary package hint: indicator-messages
Have Empathy or Gwibber already opened, switch to another workspace and then click them at the indicator-messages menu.
- What you expected to happen
Empathy and Gwibber windows should have stayed on the same workspaces they were before the click.
Also,
The window manager should have switched to the workspace that window was into.
OR
The Gwibber/Empathy window should have received the "urgent" state, just like they do when Gwibber/Empathy are chosen through the main menu
- What happened instead
Their windows were brough to the current workspace, changing the way I had orginized my workspaces.
The main problem is: I organize my windows on different workspaces (one for work, another for music, messaging, etc). This behavior is bringing Gwibber and Empathy to my work workspace. I want them to stay on the workspaces I've put them.

I would like to add that this is a very important bug to fix in my humble opinion. The usability of Empathy/Gwibber and the integration to the desktop made my final migration from Windows to Ubuntu back when Lucid was released.
I really miss that correct window/workplace placing. This bug is awful, it takes so much productivity away.
