[Solved] Eclipse children windows on all Worspaces

All--
I just updated my system to Ubuntu 12.04 and migrated from Gnome into XFCE.
To XFCE development team: Congratz! you are bulding a great piece of software. Keep working, I love my new desktop.
However I have the following annoying issue:
I work with Eclipse Helios 3.6 with different perspectives. Usually I have 5 or 6 children windows open (git, test, anonymous, problems, progress, etc) and span to second monitor.
If I switch to another workspace, the main Eclipse screen stays in that workspace but all the children windows stay in all workspaces.

I've noticed there's an option in the main Eclipse window:  Visible only in this Workspace/Visible in all Workspaces which works fine for the main window but not for the children.

Is any workaround to this?

My config:

Ubuntu 12.04
XFCE 4.8 installed with USC
Eclipse Helios 3.6 RC1 local build

Regards,
--Aldo

I was able to fix the issue.
Weird behavior.
Just changed from one perspective to another and all children went minimized and restored.
After restoring the conflictive perspective, everything stayed in the right place.
