** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  Many users tend to have maximized window opened on other workspaces and
  use an external monitor such as a projector or one connected to a laptop
  docking station.  When removing this monitor, these maximized windows
  will get shuffled to the current workspace.  This can be aggravating for
  users and is not a good user experience.
  
  [Test case]
  
  1. Have an external monitor.
  2. Use multiple workspaces.
  3. Open a window and maximize it on a workspace such as workspace 2.
  4. Move to another workspace such as workspace 3.
  5. Remove the external monitor.
  
  [Regression potential]
  
  The code here is quite fragile and can be prone to some unexpected
  behaviors.  I took great care in trying to make sure no new regressions
  are caused by this fix, but there may be some corner case that is
  unaccounted for.  Also note that there are already some broken behaviors
  in this area that are unfixed by this code, so keep that in mind when
  testing that it truly isn't a regression.

  Original Description:
  
  Removing an external monitor when using multiple workspaces will cause
  maximized windows on other workspaces to move to the current workspace.
  
  Scenario:
  1. Have an external monitor.
  2. Use multiple workspaces.
  3. Open a window and maximize it on a workspace such as workspace 2.
  4. Move to another workspace such as workspace 3.
  5. Remove the external monitor.
  
  Expected behavior:
  Maximized window will remain on the workspace it was opened on.
  
  Observed behavior:
  Maximized window moves to the current workspace
