I am pretty sure the problem is in the Windows application, in your case Lotus
Notes. Unlike most other window managers, compiz uses viewports, which in turn
means compiz moves windows out of sight when switching workspaces instead of
making them invisible. Wine passes the movement information to the app, which
(probably, we can't check) sees that the window is moved offscreen and tries to
move it back, which messes up things.
It would be nice if that issue could be reproduce with a free Windows app, so I
could verify this assumption. If the assumption is true, this would be a
WONTFIX candidate, because it's simply not possible to fix it properly in that
case.
Does making the Lotus Notes window sticky help?
