That's incorrect. In Gnome 3 the number of workspaces is dynamic, rather than fixed. If you are on workspace 2 and open a window, a blank workspace 3 is automatically created below you, for future use. > Even stranger I found you could not put instances of the same program in > both workspaces.

Instead, it takes you to your last-used window of that application.
