Use the tweak tool to use static # of workspaces. I suspect then you
will see that the apps stay in the workspace you have set them in.
Gnome is restarting, I suspect, coming out of suspend and you loose your
dynamic workspace setup. Same if you do a <alt-f2,r>.
Given that the meetings have started here, I think I have s/r
half-a-dozen times today already. It is working. But of course no
external video. Until I chair my session later this afternoon, and I
have to be connected to the room projector.
