0.13.x always puts new windows on virtual desktop #1

Since upgrading my server to 0.13.0, all new windows are created on virtual desktop no 1, even if I am currently working in another virtual desktop. I did not see this problem on any 0.12.x builds. I also did not see the problem when I had only upgraded the client (client 0.13.0 and server 0.12.6 was fine). When I upgraded the server (client and server at 0.13.0) then I started seeing the problem.

I am running KDE on Ubuntu 12.04. The problem is not affected by the number of physical monitors attached - I have seen the problem with just my laptop's built-in display and with built-in display plus external monitor.

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

Since I typically use multiple virtual desktops, this pretty much makes 0.13 unusable.

I also experience this problem with 0.13.1.

In my case I'm running Archlinux with openbox (window manager). I am not using a desktop environment.

Let me know if there is any information I could provide.

I believe r6609 fixes this, will backport soon.

A better fix in r6610 and r6615.

Backports for 0.13.x were in 6617, was released as part of the 0.13.2 release.
Can I close this ticket?

Windows are now appearing on the proper virtual desktop for me.

Thanks for the quick fix.
