All windows of a session are restored in the same virtual desktop although originally they were in different desktop. (it seems that the restore data do not keep information about windows in which virtual desktop were in).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start firefox windows in several desktop
2. shut down Ubuntu
3. start firefox
4. select restore session
Actual Results:
All session windows pop up in same desktop windows

Expected Results:
Windows should appear in the previous desktop they were in

(it may be that this bug is somewhat related to #339445)

Although this is not a blocking bug, I believe it is a true inconvenient. Beside unexpected crashes (which are few), the restore session is useful not to bookmark pages (those that are of temporary interest) and still be able to get them back after shutting down or restarting the system. When using the restore session in that way, one may have opened 20 firefox windows spread over 4 desktops. Having to finish the restore by putting the windows back in their virtual desktop, is minor but still a pain.
