xfce session restore of terminal to proper workspace


I was going to post on this problem, however, duckduckgo found this bug report for me. Thought I'd post anyway in case it helps another.

The problem was that when restoring a session, all the windows were showing up on the first workspace. This brought a bit of a consternation since my thoughts are organized using multiple terminals spread across available workspaces. I have to admit I only noticed the problem on my main machine after getting rid of Terminal-0.4.8 (which was starting to cause me some issues, understandably, since I am mostly at current), however I have seen this on other 14.1 installs. ... a clean system, huh, what a novel idea. Enough rambling.

Using xfce4-terminal-0.6.3 (post bug closing) with the source slackbuild has apparently solved my issue. Below is (a minor) patch to the slackbuild to enable it to detect the .bz2 file download.

Code:
--- xfce4-terminal.SlackBuild.org	2014-11-06 21:56:32.000000000 -0700
+++ xfce4-terminal.SlackBuild	2014-11-06 22:02:27.000000000 -0700

 cd $PKGNAM-$VERSION || exit 1

 find . \
I'll mark this as solved, but will wait a day or two in case someone knows any issues with 0.6.3.
