Comment 40 for bug 689733

you're missing the point
I use workspaces as self contained entities
when i'm working on a task on a workspace, I don't care about instances of a program that are open somewhere else
as a matter of fact I'm not sure why that would be useful?
at the moment 3 different people are using this computer, each with their own self contained workspace, it's simple, easy & logical

if I want to throw everything in a pile, why bother using workspaces at all?
