Bug Description

I've setup nine virtual desktops in a 3x3 configuration:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
When right clicking on an icon on the task bar I get the options to "Move to workspace [Right|Left|Up|Down]". But the options given doesn't fit with the actual possibilities. In the central workspace (5) I only get:
Move to workspace [Right]
Move to workspace [Up]

Furthermore the commands doesn't work as expected. Choosing "Move to workspace Up" in the central workspace (5) moves the window to the upper right workspace (3) and not to workspace (2) as expected.

If I use the "Move to another workspace" and select the specific workspace, the window ends up in the right workspace.

I have shortcuts set up for the actions "Move window to workspace [Right|Left|Up|Down]" and they work as expected.

If I right click the title bar of the window, the list of "Move to ... " possibilities are different from when I right click the icon on the task bar. The workspace list given on the title bar is correct, and using the commands from the title bar makes the windows end up in the right workspace.

So it seems that it's only when using the task bar to move windows that the problem occurs.

I'm running Intrepid with no visual effects.

Regards,
Morten
