Aha! I'm glad it's just me, because that should hopefully mean that it's
possible to configure one's way out of it :).

Is there a way to force "consistency" such that I'll always end up with
consistent pairs of workspaces on each of the screens? Say as in,

  Alt-1:

   Screen 1: Workspace 0
   Screen 0: Workspace 1

  Alt-2:

   Screen 1: Workspace 2
   Screen 0: Workspace 3

  Alt-2:

   Screen 1: Workspace 4
   Screen 0: Workspace 5

  (etc.)

?
