xpra seems to get a little confused when used on a system with multiple
desktops and xpra managed windows on more than one desktop. (I have seen
this behaviour on all 0.8.* builds.)
For example:
On desktop 2:
start xpra managed terminal (for reference, call it term2)
start gvim from term2 - appears on desktop #2
Switch to desktop 3:
start xpra managed terminal (term3) - appears on desktop #2 (!)
move term3 to desktop #3
start gvim from term3 - appears on desktop #3
Switch to desktop 2:
click on term2 to bring it to foreground
start gvim from term2 - appears in desktop #3 (!)
start gvim (again) from term2 - appears in desktop #2
Switch to desktop 3:
move term3 (which also brings it to foreground)
start gvim from term3 - appears in desktop #3
It seems that xpra isn't aware of desktop changes until something causes a
change in window state.
