compiz - Oct 2006 - possible workspacehandling bug

Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone for the effort put into
the project.

I have found a quite peculiar behavior when using Xgl/compiz.
Sometimes my windows disappear, if i use ctrl+alt+shift+left/right i can end
up in an empty desktop and if I keep holding ctrl+alt+shift and move back to
the previous workspace the window moves back just as if it had been moved
previously. Also, if I move between workspaces applications can disappear, I
can see them in expose-mode and the processes are running as they should,
but when I click on the application it zooms to the workspace where the
application should be.. but it's not there, not on the taskbar and not in
the application switcher. They come back after an arbitrary number of
rotates though, most of the time it's somewhere around 10 complete rotations
(ctrl+alt+shift+left 40 times) .. it could be that i have missed some
config-parameter but honestly, I have no idea what that could be. It seems
like there is some inconsistency between the way gnome handles workspaces
and the way compiz handles them. I've tried searching for similar bugs but i
haven't found anything.
The two programs that show this behavior most are Firefox (both 1.5 and 2.0),
and OpenOffice.
I'm running ubuntu edgy with Xgl/compiz gnome (I encountered the behavior on
ubuntu dapper too).

Has anyone else encountered this before?

I've seen something similar, where windows can get arbitrarily moved 
around as you rotate, even off the top or bottom edge of the desktop. 
Maybe it could be the same bug?
