Bug Description
I use my laptop in two setups: by itself with its 1440x900 built-in panel, and docked/closed using an external 2560x1440 monitor only. (So only one active screen in both cases) I use multiple unity workspaces, with (for example) a maximized browser window in the top right workspace and a emacs maximized in the lower left workspace.
I find that if I suspend while docked and then resume after undocking (so I am switching from 2560x1440 -> 1440x900 screen), everything mostly works except that my maximized windows unpredictably change workspaces; I might end up with the browser and emacs stacked on top of each other after this transition.
It seems that a sensible heuristic would be that if I maximized a window in a particular workspace, then the window should stay maximized in the same workspace after a screen size transition.
