Bug Description
I have a configuration with two video outputs, one is a 1900x1200 monitor, and another one in 1024x768 projector (capable of using up to 1400x1050 resolution). Since I cannot scale 1900x1200 to projector, I'm turning it on/off from Displays settings panel. When the projector output is turned on, some windows are automatically placed on it (in the same workspace). When I turn off projector's output, some windows are placed on another workspace. All this can be seen in 4 screenshot I provided. First one is windows positions before turning on the projector, second shows windows after turning on the projector, third shows windows placed where they supposed to be (I moved them there before turning the projector off), and fourth shows windows placement after turning off the projector.

Disclaimer: Jockey status is wrong. fglrx IS in use, but jockey reported an error after driver installation and never noticed thar drivers are installed. This bug about Jockey is alredy submited (Bug #988033).
