Using Tilda with multiple Ubuntu users causes one to switch workspaces when pulling down terminal #323

I can't confirm that this would happen to everyone using multiple users, but it is reproducible for me on purge and re-install. My environment is as follows:

Ubuntu 16.04 with two users, User 1 and User 2. Tilda (1.3.1-1) was installed from packages as root while logged in as User 1. It works perfectly for User 1. For User 2, however, even if User 1 is completely logged out, Tilda behavious in a very strange manner. Upon starting Tilda, my workspace switches to the next one to the right (I use CCSM desktop wall), and the Tilda console does not drop down at all. If I open a second Tilda instance, however, it works fine - it is only the first Tilda instance that behaves this way. Note that changing the shortcut key that Tilda uses does not stop this behaviour, so I'm certain that there isn't some key binding overriding Tilda.

While the workaround is straightforward - just open two instances of Tilda and use the second one when I'm using User 2, the issue still exists.

Note that if I start tilda with tilda -C, the workspace switches one place to the right, and the configuration gui opens on the workspace that it has just left behind (to the left). I have tried a number of different configuration options and can't get it to stop this behaviour.
