Description of problem:
The Mozilla Mail reply-to window is presistent across virtual desktops.  IMO it
should not be, since the only way to get it out of my face is to minimize or
lower the window.  The problem is that if I minimize the window and then switch
between desktops too much, I can no longer restore the window.  It is shown
active on the Gnome panel task list, but the window isn't remapped when I click
on it.  The window remains on the task list after Mozilla is closed.  The only
way to get rid of it is to open a terminal window and type 'killall -9 mozilla-bin'.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla Mail, select an email in the inbox, and then click the reply
button on the toolbar.
2. Minimize the reply-to window.
3. Switch between virtual desktops a few times using the Gnome panel pager applet.	
4. Try to restore the reply-to window.

Actual Results:  I am unable to restore the reply-to window.

Expected Results:  The reply-to window should be remapped when I select it from
the task list.

Additional info:

mozilla-0.9.9-12.7.3

I've seen this once or twice as well, but it seemed to be a window manager
issue, not really a Mozilla issue.  If I made sure to unselect "Toggle->Sticky"
from the window manager window and then "History->Forget Saved Staet" it seemed
to fix the problem.

I don't know how it got in that state to begin with, though.

Haven't seen it in rawhide for a while.
