@Hugo, With the word "Workspace switcher" I am referring to a default
ubuntu installation, where expo is called "Workspace Switcher".

** Description changed:

  [Test Case]
  
  1. Open a window
  2. Hit "Ctrl+Alt+Numpad3" to resize it via Grid (for example Firefox) into a corner.
     Alternatively you can drag the window to a corner to grid-resize it.
  3. Open any other window (for example a terminal)
  4. Trigger Expo (via Launcher's Workspace Switcher icon or by hitting "Super+S" for example)
  5. Now drag the "non-gridded" second window (terminal in our case here) to another workspace/viewport
  
  What you would expect to happen:
  
  The terminal window should now be on the new viewport. The other window
  should not change position.
  
  What actually happens:
  
  No matter on which workspace the terminal window is dragged to, the *gridded* window follows.
  Wait, it gets even better:
  If you try to switch the workspace without dragging a window, the *gridded* window will follow you, whereever you go.
  If you resize multiple windows via Grid all will follow you from workspace to workspace.
  
  Note 1: I have tested this in a virtual machine with a vanilla default
  up-to-date installation of Raring also, to make sure non-default
  settings are not causing this problem.
  
  Note 2: This bug makes using Grid in combination with Expo (which are
  both enabled by default on Ubuntu) completely unusable and should have
  high priority.

- SUMMARY: 
- When a window gets positioned in a corner or the top/bottom half and you switch workspace using ẃorkspace switcher the window gets positioned on every workspace you switch to on exactly the same position. 
- Same is true for dragging one window on the same workspace as the grid positioned window (corners or top/bottom half) to another workspace: the grid placed window follows to the workspace the other window is dragged to.

  This behavior is not true for windows that have grid positions when launched!
