Summary:                    Kstart sometimes puts windows on more than one desktop.
Description: 
I use kstart to start and place my initial windows. Occasionally, the
window is placed on the active desktop in addition to the desktop set by
kstart.

Example:
use kstart to start sylpheed and place it on desktop 4. Desktop 1 is the
active desktop. The sylpheed window can be seen and interacted with on
desktop 1 and desktop 4 as well.

The workaround is to pin the window. And then unpin it on the desired
desktop.

Can't reproduce the problem. What version of xfwm4 and kstart are your
running?

Still can't reproduce the problem and by reading xfwm4 code, I can hardly
see how this could happen.

Again, what version of xfwm4 and kstart are your running?

xfwm4 version: xfwm4-4.0.0-1
[botsie at krondor botsie]$ kstart -v
Qt: 3.0.5
KDE: 3.0.3-8 Red Hat
KStart: kstart version 1.9

Sylpheed: 0.9.4claws

My machine has bad RAM, but that doesn't seem like a likely cause in this
case.

Please update to latest xfce stable first.

Cannot duplicate the error with xfwm from CVS.

This problem is not duplicable on a newer version and on a different
system. Write it off to local machine weirdness.
