(Get the code!)
I have a dual monitor setup (each side by side), one desktop and a virtual size of 2x5. There are several strange things happening:
When I'm in the top left virtual desktop, focus in the left monitor, and open up evolution it is either displayed in the same virtual desktop but on the other monitor and gets focus or it is displayed on one desktop further to the right, there in the right monitor, and it does not have focus.
This leasd to the situation where I am on a specific desktop, launch an application and this application shows up on another desktop without focus and without me knowing where it is. In addition, klicking on the evolution icon in the launcher does _not_ jump to the open window but does nothing at all. After changing the desktop via <Ctrl><Alt>Arrow or invoking <Super_L>S clicking on the icon works as expected.
At least for me, this is a severe restriction to my workflow. I'll be happy to privde any information neede, please feel free to ask!
