Public bug reported: I've recently upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 (amd64) successfully; as Unity was slower than on 12.04, I decided to try Nvidia 304.60 drivers from Nvidia's site (Radeon 440GT video card).
I uninstalled Ubuntu's nvidia*, then installed Nvidia's binary ones with no problem. The slowness was out, but a new problem appeared: some windows open on the top right desktop (I've got the default 2x2, despite I only use the top left one). Behaviour (programs are always run from the top left desktop): -some programs always open on the first desktop (on top left): calculator, gnome terminal, nautilus (expected behaviour). -some programs always open on the top right desktop: amulegui, f-spot (wrong behaviour). -some programs open main window in top left desktop, child windows on top right desktop: sbackup, firefox, playonlinux (wrong behaviour). Also, the windows that are opened in top right desktop have an odd behaviour: they don't show on top right desktop after switching to it, and the only way of managing them is moving them first from the top right desktop to top left desktop in "desktop switcher" (where the screen is showing all 4 desktops at a time). As the above behaviour persists after uninstalling Nvidia's binary driver and installing Ubuntu's nvidia-current (also nvidia-current- updates), I'm not sure where's the problem (compiz, nvidia driver...). Help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
