Comment 12 for bug 1092323

Workspaces were disable by default in 13.04 because usage studies showed that many typical users found them unexpected and confusing, and that more advanced users who would benefit from workspaces would have no problem opening a configuration window to enable them (even if they had to grumble publicly and complain loudly first).

This bug is in fact a rare corner case, since few people regularly place their windows across workspaces. There are other issues that are more commonly encountered or have a more profound negative effect that demand our attention too.
