Here's the poll:

In the interest of further thought on this subject, I posted a poll in
popular blog OMG! Ubuntu just a few minutes ago. Later today I'll put
one up at the forums as well, just to try to get a feel from the
community how workspaces are used and how they could be used in the
future.
On Apr 23, 2010,
Ignore that last blank one. Thanks for making the wiki!

The blog I made reference too will address many of the proposed
solutions here, albeit in a critical manner to root out good
solutions. I can archive the conversation in a shared google doc, with
permission from everyone involved.

I have just been looking at the gnome-shell wikis, and I have found some
mockups for suggested window management. I think the idea is quite good,
could replace the workspaces. Someone has already sent a mail with a mockup
similar to these, but this is a bit more detailed... check them out.

Guys, this is an excellent discussion. Will someone please volunteer
to organize some of what's been said on a wiki page, or Google

I think a distinction should be made between what would work well on

I think we need to focus a bit more on the fundamental reasons why we use
workspaces. I for one often switch to a new workspace because i don't want
to see any of what i was working on before. I don't want tabs from before,

I think we should coordinate this with Gnome, and ask them whether they're
going to do anything with that space in Gnome Shell. It would be stupid to
design something awesome, then realise that Shell uses that space for a
essential part of its functionality.

I really should be going to bed but this is some interesting stuff.
I thought of maybe bringing up adding workspaces on-the-fly but dropped it
when I thought of a person that had no experience with multiple workspaces
say open an application set to create a new workspace and being

sorry, forgot a bit. you could even implement this to the point of, rather

i'll get to work on some mockups to explain this a little better.
