Bug Description
First off: Sorry for the messy report. I started understanding the bug more and more as I wrote this report, you might notice that.
This is a bug I'm experiencing since I'm working with multiple workspaces now.
The report remains valid for other applications than Firefox, that have multiple instances or windows.
My situation:
* I have four workspaces (2x2) and I've got instances of Firefox on #1 and #2, plus various other applications
* The task manager is set to show only windows on current workspace
* When I'm on workspace #2 and switch from any application to Firefox, I can see the workspace switcher for a second, but it focusses the FF window on that workspace
* When I do the same on #1, it switches to the FF window on #2, this also happens when the FF window on #1 is already focussed and I'm minimizing it. Then it minimizes FF on #1 and switches to FF on #2
This is being caused by the following actions:
* Open Compiz' Expo feature (the Super+E thing), click on any workspace, it gains focus in Expo.
* Leave Expo again. Now the workspace focus change is unnoticed by the task manager. You do see the windows open on this workspace, but on any action with the task-manager it changes focus back to the previously focused workspace.
* Ubuntu 9.10
* Installed via awn-developers PPA
* Compiz enabled
* Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller

Rev 1860 might resolve this issue (I have not had an opportunity to test it with compiz yet). Please test when it hits the ppa.
