Description William Friesen 2009-11-22 17:32:48 UTC 
This only happens when using Compiz.

I have 2 workspaces that I switch between. Initially I start Empathy in workspace 1, close it and switch to workspace 2. On clicking the Empathy icon in the Notification Area, the Empathy Contact List window appears in the Window List (as shown in the screenshot attached), and when I click on this window, I am switched to workspace 1 where the window is displayed.

I have also filed this at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/485662

You are probably using Compiz, in which case it seems to be the desired behaviour when presenting a window.
Comment 2 William Friesen 2009-11-22 17:44:54 UTC 
I am using Compiz, but I haven't had this happen for any other programs
Comment 3 Guillaume Desmottes 2009-11-23 11:21:17 UTC 
William: could you tell use which applications are handling this fine on your desktop?
Comment 4 William Friesen 2009-11-23 11:45:37 UTC 
The programs I'm using are VLC Media Player, Gnome-do, Deluge, Pidgin, and XChat. Each of these minimises to the Notification Area, and is brought back to the current workspace when clicked on.
Comment 5 Xavier Claessens 2009-11-23 12:59:00 UTC 
I'm working on this.

The problem all other app has, is if the application is not minimized but are in another workspace, they don't move it to the current workspace with one click. You have to click twice.

Fixed in master.
