Bug Description
[Impact]
* Reloading gnome-shell causes gnome-shell to forget what windows are on which workspaces except for the first 2 workspaces.
[Test Case]
* In GNOME Shell, open 3 apps.
* Open the Activities Overview. Drag each window to the right to a different workspace so that there are 3 workspaces (and a 4th empty workspace).
* Type Alt+F2 to open the run dialog and enter 'r' to reload GNOME Shell.
* The 3 apps should remain on the workspaces that you placed them.
[Regression Potential]
* Virtually none. The patch only affects dynamic workspaces and simply loads the workspace count in use or if there aren't any (like at fresh startup), just loads one workspace.
