Title:
  windows move between workspaces switching dual display off

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I switch to/from dual display on a tablet pc a few times a day. I
  switch to dual display mode with a script doing

  xrandr --screen 0 --fb 1600x2100
  xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x1200 --above LVDS1

  and back to the single (laptop) screen with

  xrandr --output VGA1  --off
  xrandr --screen 0 --fb 1600x900

  (I also set some wacom parameters back and forth to keep the tablet
  input calibrated on the laptop screen when in dual mode, but I don't
  think that's relevant.)

  The problem is that when I  switch between the setups my application
  windows are moved between workspaces. It seems that the distinction
  between the physical screens and the workspaces is blurred, which may
  be intentional (I can drag windows between workspaces). But each time
  I switch display setup have to find all my application windows and
  move them to where I want them, which is a bit irritating as I have
  quite a few. I'm sorry if I've missed some option which will allow me
  to tie an application window to a specific workspace.

  I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 with unity version 6.12.0-0ubuntu0.2. I expected
  each application window to stay in the workspace I put it, but it
  usually doesn't.
