Description Lionel Dricot 2012-03-23 11:17:29 UTC 
In GNOME-Shell, Empathy windows have a very inconsistent behaviour of moving through workspaces.

I identified that when you click on the contact icon in the notification area, the whole chat window will be sent to your current workspace.

This is very inconvenient if you want to keep your workspaces organized. It is also inconsistent with how other applications are working: you are sent to the application workspace.

I think that Empathy, like other applications, should always stays on its given workspace.

Which version of Empathy are you using? We changed this in 3.3 to implement exactly what you suggested.
Comment 2 Guillaume Desmottes 2012-03-23 11:45:02 UTC 
That's bug #649208 btw
Comment 3 Lionel Dricot 2012-03-23 11:56:09 UTC 
Ok, I'm still on 3.2. Sorry.
Comment 4 Guillaume Desmottes 2012-03-23 12:00:12 UTC 
Cool, so 3.4 will make you an happier person. :)
