Bug Description

Moving a window to another workspace using the context menu options "Move to Workspace right" or "Move to Another Workspace" causes unity to lose track of the window entirely - it disappears never to return.

Note: the processes associated with the windows *are* still running as shown by xlsclients.

Moving the windows manually to another workspace (by shifting the window almost off the screen to the right or bottom, then changing to the appropriate workspace and pulling the half-obscured window into that workspace) works.
