Public bug reported: Sometimes unity silently disappears (still displayed on screen, but cannot be iinteracted with, and tty `pidof unity` finds no running process). When restarting unity with `unity --replace`, the following happens:
- all windows are moved to the wrong virtual desktop, which requires significant effort to get back to a productive setup - several application windows (and the application processes) have become missing, usually the browser and Virtualbox (with the current work completely lost) Expected behavior: a) The window manager never crashes, or b) The window manager is restarted, all application windows are not negatively affected.
