On my new Leopard machine, I've turned off Desktop Manager, and am
trying to use Spaces instead. It seems to interact with X11 badly, or
maybe I'm just doing it wrong.
1) When I put an X11 window (an Emacs) in the Dock, I'd like it be
treated as if it was in what Rooms[1] used to call "Baggage".
That is, if you "unpack" it from the Dock, it opens into whatever
Room (Space) you're currently in, and stays in that Space unless
you move it again. This is what Desktop Manager does, and it's a
nice design. In the current Spaces/X11 world, opening an X11
window from the Dock switches you back to the Space the X11 window
was created in.
2) When I switch to a different Space that only has an X11 window open
in it, I'd like that window to get the focus. Right now, the
focus stays with whatever window had it, even if that window is in
a different Space. I'm using click-to-focus, not
focus-follows-mouse, but even so I'd expect this to happen.
I'd be happy to file bugs on these, but which bug-tracker?

[1] http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=24056. The Rooms version of
"Baggage" was actually a bit clumsier, as they didn't have an actual
place like the Dock to put windows in baggage.
