Bug Description

Intel based laptop in docking bay. Two screens connected and enabled. Some applications spread over both screens.
Detach the second screen (in my case, pull the laptop out of the docking bay).

Notice that the pips show empty triangles as if the applications are on another workspace when in fact they're on workspace 1 (current)

Move to another (empty) workspace and back, and note the triangles fill back in.

I tried this with one of my laptops, and this doesn't seem to happen on the current version in precise-updates (5.12-0ubuntu1.1). So it's a problem with trunk it seems.

It also happens when re-attaching. Last night I was sat on the sofa with all applications open on one workspace (the laptop panel) and then suspended the device. This morning I plugged it directly into the docking station. Applications moved across both the internal panel and external monitor but the pips were out of line..

See screenshot. firefox is on the external (1080p) screen but the launcher thinks it's on the internal laptop (1366x768) screen. When I unmaximised firefox on the external screen it flew over to the laptop screen. When I moved firefox back to the external screen the launcher pips resolved the issue.
