Bug Description

So I have a dualhead setup, with 2 video cards. This is all set up fine in X11,
and the screens are :0.0 and :0.1

metacity 2.12.1-0ubuntu1 initializes itself on these screens ok. However,
imagine I have workspaces laid out like:

Screen 0
[0 - window] [1 - window] [2 - window] [3 - window]

Screen 1
[0 - window] [1 - window] [2 - empty ] [4 - empty ]

If I'm on screen 1 workspace 1, and hit the keyboard shortcut for workspace 2,
then screen 1 will switch to workspace 2.

Now if I keyboard shortcut for workspace 1 again, screen 0 will switch to
workspace 1. Screen 1 loses focus.

It's craziness!

It's already to dapper. The changes are not obvious so probably not a candidate
for 5.10, you will have to wait for a backport or for Ubuntu 6.04
