The Forums thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1862661 is essentially correct - the relationship between Workspaces and the rest of Unity is inconsistent. That's simply because we have not yet got to implement Workspaces the way we'd like, and what's currently shipping is the Compiz Workspaces plugin bolted alongside the rest of Unity. Some pieces are already in place, for example, the Launcher distinguishes between apps running on this workspace, and other workspaces. Among many other changes we'd like to see in Workspaces: * Alt-TAB should only switch between apps on the current Workspace * Clicking on a Launcher icon for an app running elsewhere but not in the current Workspace, which knows how to have multiple windows and create new windows, should create a new window in the current Workspace I've cc'd John Lea and Stewart Wilson who are the right folk to lead further discussion.
