Comment 39 for bug 683170

Just for future stubles upon this thread. As I see that there are still a couple of people complaining about this issue on the internet in general. This issue will apparently be fixed in 12.04 LTS.

"new window spread mode based only on the current workspace (if there are two nautilus windows opened on the current desktop and three Nautilus windows opened on other workspaces, clicking the nautilus icon from the Unity launcher triggers the window spread mode only for the two windows from the current workspace)"

Hopefully this means that if there are no nautilus windows open on the current workspace and the nautilus pinned icon is clicked in the launcher it will open a new one in the current workspace and not upset you by moving to an already existing one on another workspace. So lets wait and hope for the best.

I am SO EXCITED! Finally!!!! :)
