The whole point of work spaces is that they *don't* all have the same
content - each work space is dedicated to one program. Case in point
in this new install of Ubuntu I have here - work spaces have gone awry
so everything is as Windows would do it, every program running in the
same window. Whilst getting e-mail and browsing the web I've been
doing some batch processing with Audacity and every new file loaded /
saved the Audacity window pops to the front and overlays what I want
to be doing whilst it is processing - damned annoying !!

With work spaces operational I would have had Audacity running in it's
own work space where it would not have interfered with other work
spaces running E-mail or browser.

I really do have to get this Ubuntu install sorted - once you've
worked with multiple work spaces it really is the most sensible way of
running many tasks at the same time Think I've messed up big
time with this install and will need to start from scratch again !
