Using NB6M10 on kubuntu 7.04 (KDE) the following occurs: I undock an editor window By using the window menu options I move the undocked window to another desktop (On the pager applet I see it appear on the other desktop) I switch to the corresponding desktop and the undocked window immediately jumps back to the desktop on which the main NB app was running.
Reproduced on Ubuntu 7.04 Linux, gnome, metacity WM. Interestingly, when using Beryl WM, everything is in order. WIll have to figure out if this is Netbeans related or Swing/JDK related...

However, window managers like Metacity WM iconifies window when it is moved to another virtual desktop. These two behaviors are in fight and Netbeans can never win. Solution - I disabled automatic iconification by default, it's now available when running netbeans with -J-Dnetbeans.winsys.auto_iconify=true (system will then suffer from this bug, of course). Disabling automatic iconification seems to be OK, as it is remnant of ancient SDI mode. Now it seems to be logical to have undocked editors independent.
