** Description changed:

  Compiz 1:0.9.11.3+14.04.20150313-0ubuntu1
  Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS, Gnome session flashback
  Lenovo ThinkPad W520
+ NVIDIA GF106GLM [Quadro 2000M] binary driver - version 352.63 from nvidia-352 
(proprietary, tested) (because default open source driver caused unusably slow 
refresh rate)
  
  Problem: Windows being ejected into wrong workspaces. Cleanup after the
  disruption takes about 1.5 minutes and is a tedious clicking chore.
  
  Situation 1: When I switch from laptop's internal screen to external, windows 
move between workspaces. When switching, the workspace-switcher stretches twice 
as wide as normal, when Ubuntu uses both displays at the same time, "side by 
side".
  Guess: It seems that all window positions are stored as a distance from the 
edge of the first workspace, not in relation to workspace number.
  
  Situation 2: After updating and restarting, when relaunching all 
applications, all the windows open in the workspace that I happen to be at, and 
not even in the same positions where I left them.
  Guess: It appears that neither of the responsible bodies, operating system or 
application, try to remember the locations of windows, and some applications 
(VLC, document viewer, file browser, image viewer) do not remember anything 
from their previous state.
  
  Could the operating system take a more assertive role in keeping my
  session intact?
