New issue 284 by nathan.howell: raiseNextMaybe (XMonad.Actions.WindowGo)  
only cycles through matching windows from 2 workspaces
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=284

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set up a keybinding using raiseNext
2. Open windows that will match your raiseNext query on more than 2  
workspaces
3. Use raiseNext to attempt to cycle through them

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Matching windows on only the current and most recently visited workspace
will be cycled through. I expected to cycle through all matching windows an
all workspaces.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm running xmonad from darcs on Ubuntu 8.10.

Please provide any additional information below.
Appears to be due to the varying window list returned by allWindows. The
workspaces function called in allWindows always puts the current workspace
first, which guarantees that raiseNextMaybe isn't going to work. Is there a
way to get a list of all windows in a reliable order?
