this happens to me in a slightly different context. My laptop is usually connected to an external monitor. Whenever the laptop suspends, when I resume the gnome-terminal window is lost. Seems to always be the terminal but at the same time, this almost always my only window that's not maximized. Recently, I found that if I Alt-tab to the terminal, I can press Alt-Space which pops up the window menu, and then if I maximize it, it comes back to view.

Status in Compiz: New Status in Compiz Core: New Status in Unity Distro Priority: Fix Committed Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a Chrome window that I was moving around via ALT+drag and the window "snapped" offscreen in the direction where there is no virtual workspace. I cannot get the window back into a workspace. Things I can do: I can see it in the spread or by double clicking on the app icon in the launcher, but when I click on the window to select it, it just brings me to the workspace it thinks it is in,but it is still offscreen. At this point, I can't get the window back on screen.
