This is more like design problem. These problems are due to the fact, that the virtual desktops are topologically equivalent to Torus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus ). You can resize window, that is on other virtual desktop and let it overlap with your current desktop. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: run empathy. grab title bar of the contact window and move it to the left (so it will be automatically on the left half of the screen). Move to the virtual desktop, that is topologically to the left. Move your cursor to the right border of the screen. Press left mouse button and move (while holding left mouse button) cursor to the left. Release the mouse button. You just have a piece of contact list on your actual desktop. What is even worse, that if you try to put this window back (while still pressing that left mouse button), the contact list will be automatically aligned to the right half of the screen. PROPOSED FIX: each of the virtual desktop should be independent. Window should be visible on only one virtual desktop at time. We have expo plugin to move windows between desktops. Definitelly, virtual desktops should not behave as an view of the one large desktop.
