[compiz] possible workspacehandling bug

[Daniel Johansson]

Ravi: I'm not sure, my problem is only with displaying the windows,
they don't move around if I don't tell them to.

Mike: Hm, setting vertical size to 2 in compiz settings manager didn't
solve the problem for me. I'll check out beryl some more when they get
their page back up, thanks for the tip!
