Starting in 0.13.0 and still in 0.13.1, when using multiple virtual desktops new windows are always created on virtual desktop #1. Given that I frequently am using windows on desktops no 2 and no 3 this is a major blow to the usability of xpra.

I have seen this with both 1 and 2 physical monitors connected to my machine. I am using KDE on Ubuntu 12.04.

This looks to be a server side problem as I did not see this when I was using client 0.13.0 with server 0.12.6. Only after I upgraded the server to 0.13.0 did I see this problem.

As requested in the email conversation, here's the client log with -d workspace:
