I actually wrote about this in another ayatana topic, and it seemed to 
get positive responses.

You could have separate launcher tiles on each of the 4 workspaces. That 
way you could have one for work applications, one for multimedia, one 
for games etc. For new users to set this up, this is something that 
would need a simple dialogue. As well as an on/off dialogue, it could 
use the dash categories as a starting point so a category could be 
chosen for each desktop, and any new relevent applications could be 
added to the appropriate launcher.

Example: Lets say the user has some important work to get done. They go 
to open LO from the launcher. But then they notice a game icon, and 
decide to play a game instead.

If the workspace only had work tiles on the launcher, it means the 
applications they need would be easier to get to, and the desktop could 
be customised to reduce distractions.
