Bug Description

Binary package hint: emacs23

Almost each time I start GNU Emacs, I can see its window popping up on the screen then it disappears instantly. Initially, I thought Emacs core dumped, but in fact, it was automatically (wrongly) moved to another (random) workspace! I then have to look at my four workspaces to retrieve the Emacs window and put it back on the first workspace.
The bug only happens while Compiz is turned on; it did not happen when Compiz was off.
I tried to google about this, but nothing; people seems to run with Compiz disabled all the times or I am alone with this bug!
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 64 bits version, with the NVIDIA closed-source graphic driver.
