(Get the code!)
This is also very import to me. It's very important if you have work spaces dedicated to different tasks.
The extra running launcher icons showing in the launcher makes it harder to find what you want in the current work space. Clicking to get a new browser for that work space and getting dragged into another work space will drive you mad. These are some simple things that are impotent to me. Things that will drive me away from unity.
I believe it would be best to have a option at least to have it function like the old gnome panels with the ability to keep things pinned.
I think it would work like:
"Keep in launcher" icons show on all the work spaces. Active windows in the current work space would be the only other icons show on the launcher. Anything running on the other work spaces should not be shown.
Clicking on a browser on this work space should launch a browser on this work space irrespective if there is one already running on another work space.
If fact I think the middle click should be reversed, middle click should see if the program has a window on another work space and take you to it. Left click should always launch a window on current work space, or bring to the front the current window.
Its really annoying to get ripped out of your current work space into another.. if I wanted to go to another work space I would go there.
Of course I've more then happy if this is a option, does not have to be default. But does really need to be there.
for example Docky has this exact setup, though you do have to turn it on. Check

Hope that makes at least a little sense little bitty late here.
