[Carl Ansell <afccarl1994@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem with that is Windows users are not used to having more than 
one workspace. It would need to be an option which is not hard to find, 
but would still keep the desktop consistant. Personal applications can 
be useful in a number of situations and hence the fact that they would 
relistically need to be available on all workspaces.

That is why I suggested a simple dialogue, with a checkbox to enable 
custom workspaces and drop down menus that have presets that provide the 
same categories that can be found in the dash. It would give new users a 
good start and show them how they can split the workspaces up, while 
more advanced users would be able to get stuck in and make their own 
straight away.
