Yeah I also thought that the dynamic workspaces of the gnome shell are 
very handy. To combine this with static is a great idea. But this isn't 
really needy, cause for example when I listen to music: I open panshe 
hit the play button and close banshee again. Same for mail. And the 
other things like video, web or work have only two options you use them 
currently or you don't use them. There's no need for a permanent open 
window. Normally they aren't more than 3 windows: internet (to look 
things up), a document or something like this and very rare you use a 
third app for example a presentation. And for this combinations the most 
powerful is one on the left and the other on the right.
