VirtualDesktopManager is initialized in two places: Workspace::init and
Workspace::initWithX11. The former method loads virtual desktops from
the config file and the latter method synchronizes VirtualDesktopManager
with RootInfo.

Both methods do

if (!VirtualDesktopManager::self()->setCurrent(m_initialDesktop))
    VirtualDesktopManager::self()->setCurrent(1);

which makes sense in Workspace::init, but not in Workspace::initWithX11.

When Workspace::initWithX11 is called, the current virtual desktop is
the same as m_initialDesktop. So that piece of code basically makes
the first virtual desktop current no matter what.
