Move to another workspace doesn't keep the window original position.

[Ricardo Salveti]

Binary package hint: compiz

If you use the window menu to send a not fullscreen window to a different workspace, the window will be located in a different position (x and y).

Reproduce:
1. Using default compiz "Normal" settings.
2. Using Gnome 2.30 with Ubuntu Lucid Beta 2
3. Open an application, like gnome-terminal
4. Don't put the application to fullscreen mode
5. Check window's current position with "xwininfo"
6. Right-click the window title bar and select "Move to Workspace Right".
7. Check the newer window's position at the other workspace.

Results:
1. Original position:
  Absolute upper-left X: 1
  Absolute upper-left Y: 49
  Relative upper-left X: 1
  Relative upper-left Y: 49
2. After moving it to the second workspace:
  Absolute upper-left X: 2
  Absolute upper-left Y: 74
  Relative upper-left X: 2
  Relative upper-left Y: 74
3. Back to the first workspace:
  Absolute upper-left X: 3
  Absolute upper-left Y: 99
  Relative upper-left X: 3
  Relative upper-left Y: 99
4. Back to the second one:
  Absolute upper-left X: 4
  Absolute upper-left Y: 124
  Relative upper-left X: 4
  Relative upper-left Y: 124

This problem doesn't happen when I remove the visual effects (using metacity).

Same problem here. Same compiz versions. Especially annoying if the window has maximum height, as the bottom of the window keeps disappearing behind the bottom panel.

Thanks for your bug report. Is this still an issue with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal? May you please check and comment back? Thanks in advance!.
