However, the thing that DID finally work for me was the following: The hardware that I'm using is an ATI Radeon FirePro V4800, which has a DisplayPort and a DVI out: I have one monitor plugged into each output for a dual-head display. Since this is a desktop machine, every time I booted I saw this issue rear its ugly head. To work around it, I would have to: 1. Open the activities pane 2. Create a new activity 3. Open that new activity 4. Stop the old activity Once I did that, my windows returned without trouble. However, when I restarted, I would have this issue, plus an issue where my dual-headed desktop configurations were replaced with a single, cloned configuration. What finally fixed it for me was to install the ATI proprietary driver. Once I did that, I had to configure the Catalyist control center to be in "Multi-display desktop with displays(s) 1", which solved both issues for me. Hope this helps, and please let me know if there's any information I can provide to help with the tracking down of this issue.
