Bug Description

When you are using two monitors and you try to switch between workspaces, both monitors switches to the same workspace (so, each monitor shows a different area of the SAME workspace). If you try to change this behavior by setting the parameter at "Desktop -> Desktop Wall -> Viewport Switching -> Multimonitor behavior (mmmode)" to "Switch separately", nothing changes. It seems as this setting is ignored.

This makes workspaces + multiple monitors unusable to some people as me.
