The new behavior is to always show the workspace you're switching to on the current screen. If the new workspace was visible on another screen, the formerly-current workspace will appear on that screen. In the example above, workspace 2 would appear on screen 1 and workspace 1 would appear on screen 2.

It's hard to say whether this is an improvement, so I'm going to try this patch out for a couple days before applying it to the main repo. Comments about this change are solicited. Cheers, Spencer Janssen

Strangely, this fundamental change in behavior didn't require any changes to the test suite. Note to self: add more quickcheck props for screen stuff. Spencer Janssen
