Hi Jason,

Thanks for getting back to me.  This is definitely a Compiz issue.  The
good news is that I've been working on some fixes for situations like
yours.

If you feel somewhat adventurous, I have a test package that may fix
this issue.  It can found at https://launchpad.net/~townsend/+archive
/compiz-test.  If you do install it and it doesn't fix the issue, breaks
other things (hopefully not:)), or you do not want to use it any more,
you can always use ppa-purge to go back to the official version of
Compiz in the archive.

If you need help on adding my PPA, let me know and I'll give you some
direction.

Thanks!

Title:
  apps in different workspaces are collapsing into a smaller number of
  workspaces

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have just migrated from Fedora/Gnome3 and am too used to workspaces
  to get along with the defaults that unity has :-)

  So I have used unity-tweak-tool to give myself 8x1 workspaces, and put
  thunderbird in one, firefox in another, etc. What I am finding is
  several times PER DAY I suddenly discover that a bunch of apps are now
  in the same workspace rather than the separate ones I put them into. I
  still have 8 - but most are empty

  There is no error, and they (say) go from 5 in use to (say) 3 in use -
  not a total collapse and not showing any app dependency. eg I may find
  firefox and thunderbird in the same workspace and another time find
  remmina sitting underneath some terminal shells

  The only extra piece of info is that it appears to only happen to the
  workspaces that I'm not currently in. ie I don't see this happening in
  the current one - always another one. Sort of Heisenburg's uncertainly
  principle at work!
