Description Tao Wu 2011-04-21 10:07:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
Dragging the icon from the Applications menu to the workspace bar should launch the application in that workspace (or create a new window in that workspace, for running applications), but the result is not exactly this way. Some dragged applications always launch in the current workspace.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome3

How reproducible:
50%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot into a GNOME 3 session with GNOME Shell 
2.Drag some icons of non-running applications from the Applications menu in the Overview to a specific workspace
  
Actual results:
Some applications launch in the current workspace other than the specific workspace. These applications include LibreOffice, firefox and so on.

Expected results:
All the applications should launch in the specific workspace

There's an upstream bug on the subject of applications that don't correctly implement the protocols for launching on a workspace:
