Having thought about it more than ever before, I suppose what I'm saying here is that desktops are associated with tasks, and pages with sub-tasks! E.g. on one desktop I may be writing a Java text book with an editor and dvi viewer on page 0,0 but in page 0,1 I have xfig open to edit diagrams for the book. Meanwhile on a different desktop I have my main email client windows on page 0,0 with maybe some particular emails in process of being written -- but stalled while I think about them, each on another page of that desktop.
