Bug Description

In normal usage, I have 2 monitors (LCD on laptop and external display).
I bounce back and forth between virtual desktops fairly regularly using keyboard shortcuts .

Occasionally, when changing virtual desktops, a window that was maximized on the LCD will pop over to the external display.

I've seen this at least through raring cycle and still in saucy. I'm not sure what triggers it, but when it happens I have to drag the window back to the right screen.
