Bug Description

In nVidia-twinview, the window-list-applet doesn't show all windows located at
the current workspace, just the ones on the same physical display as the applet.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Ubuntu with two monitors using nvidia twinview
2. Open a terminal on the main monitor
2.1 See it appear in the window list
3. Move the terminal window to the second monitor
3.1 Watch the window list loose the application as if it was closed.

This is possibly a Xinerama issue, since adding a window list to a panel on the
secondary display will display any windows on that desktop, as shown in the
screenshot I'm attaching.

Screenshot of a second window list.

The window list on the left display shows any windows currently on the left
monitor, while the one of the right shows them for the right.
