Description nenjordi 2013-06-11 10:29:59 UTC 
Scenario: Having two monitors attached with multiple workspaces activated only for main screen (the one with toolbar).

Problem: When one switches between workspaces (using ctrl + alt + up/down) causes focus to change to one of the apps on the secondary screen, even if you were working on the main screen.

In my opinion there are two options when switching desktops:
- Maintain focus on the screen you were.
- Put focus always on primary screen.
