Comment 17 for bug 231347

I can confirm the following behaviours on my system :
- start Metacity, start AWN : appears only on one desktop
- start Compiz, start AWN, switch to Metacity : AWN appears on all desktops
- start Compiz, start AWN (appears on all desktops), close AWN, switch to Metacity, start AWN : appears only on one desktop

It seems related to starting AWN from Metacity.

But as I said above, this doesn't happen with a new user with default settings : starting AWN from Metacity makes it appear on all desktops. I think it's a bug from Compiz Fusion messing with the user settings rather than AWN itself.
