Comment 1 for bug 242244

Hi Steve, thanks for using Ubuntu and thanks for taking the time to contribute and file this bug report! Can you clarify what window manager you are using, metacity or compiz. If you don't know, go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance, click the "Visual Effects" tab, and if None is enabled you are using metacity (probably), otherwise it is compiz.

For me using compiz, clicking the icon in the system tray brings it to the current workspace no matter where I am (for pidgin and rhythmbox, at least), so I can't duplicate that behavior here. Let me know, and thanks again!
